Just the other day I was ridding and my expensive rechargable flash light hit the road, I flipped around to get it and while waiting for traffic to clear two cars run it over.  The light was fine after all.

The light was fine after all.

Sounds like a good product. What brand was it.

Have ordered the check before flight tags,just wondering if you know how to mount the altimeter

Some years ago I went to Madrid downtown for the "Bicycle day". Downtown Madrid is cut to the motorized traffic and only bycyles and skates are allowed for a couple of hours. It's cool because you can enjoy the city among 4 or 5 thousand bikers more. I took my classic bicicle, with that classic looks and of course a period aluminium pump. When hitting a bump the pump fell. I suddenly stopped to pick it up, just to see a motherf$%er run over it on purpose with his mountain bike. After biker number 200 has run over it I gave up hope of ever recovering the flattened remains of it.
