Great suggestions.
I leaning toward not going the CO2 route. Just looked at the Topeak Morphs and they look very nice.
Love the Bento Bag idea too. I already have a seat bag.
I have a 20+ yr old helmet that I will be replacing. Anything besides comfort I should be looking at?
I'm so stoked to know that it won't be socks and ties under the tree this year.
