I find the leave on covers for my speedplay light actions to be helpful when I stop for a red light.
I dont slide when I put my foot down, and they give me some traction when I push off.
SCHLUG I bring plenty of tools and patches w/me when I ride solo, but I have on 2 occasions needed to walk from a unforeseen breakdown to my nearest lbs/support location. Its was after the first one that I got my covers. Have you never had to face the walk of shame??
