I have a Manekin Pis replica. With a little help of some duct tape, it sits on my handlebars, acting as a "St Christopher".
On my trip to Netherlands and Belgium this past fall, my friend was having so much trouble (mechanical and gravity) that I decided that it couldn't hurt. So, we drank beer in Brussels, came across a tacky souvenir store, mounted the statue-ettes on the handlebars, and, no more problems after that!
I think we should elevate the MP as the Patron Saint of (edit) bicycle tourers.
