Thank you kindly. I was both lucky and unlucky. I was hit while riding on a bike path where cars are not allowed -- she was that drunk -- but the helmet took the brunt of the fall, and while I had serious injuries, none were life threatening. I am back, except for less flexibility. The defendant was a stay at home mum renting her apartment with minimal insurance coverage, so my losses well surpassed what her insurance paid. My Pina Prince looked like it'd spend a night with Jack the Ripper. I hope the new Pina brings better luck. And it rides better than the Prince, which I thought was not possible. The handling on descends is exilarating. I recommend it.

I just realized I actually have the smaller one in the second link. He hangs out on my desk at work. He sure does crack me up.

Not all drunk drivers have good insurance, in fact most of the time they don't have insurance at all! My accident with a drunk driver that gave me titanium rods and fusion in my last vertebrae had no insurance and was worth very little, probably all the cases of beer in his car was his life's savings and those blew up. So what financial award did I get? nothing. The only satisfaction I got out of it was for a change the drunk driver died instead of the sober driver.

Ride it like you stole it
Love these bar ends, just wish they weren't so expensive. I have a white set and black set.

I am starting to match helmet to shoes in full fashion faux pas mode. Here's the new Octal to match the Sidi Air Wires. Anyone know of a helmet I can get to complement the Gire Empire ACC Ltd Edition sepia shoes?

They don't make them, but they need to... I would totally buy one if they did.
Giro used to put out cool limited edition gear the first Friday of every month on their facebook page, but they stopped doing it.

ABUS cable lock. Very light and will stop someone from just walking away with it.

A small simple pair of wire cutters will defeat that lock in less than 2 seconds, you better be close by because that lock is about the same as someone walking away with it, maybe that's why Abus stopped making it?

Not everyone is walking around with cable cutters. If someone is planning on stealing a bike not many locks will stop them. Just like if a car thief wants your car, its alarm system won't save it.
It's to stop the person who sees an unlocked bike and on an impulse takes it.
Its just so I can walk into a deli to get something quick while on a ride.
Odd that you sat they stopped making it because its still on their website:
https://www.abus.com/eng/Mobile-Secur...biflex-Pro-202
And many vendors are still selling them.
