Here's a trick: I miss a "cockpit" with my USS bent, that is, a handlebar that holds my maps, and a bag to throw in loose change, my cellphone, my keys, my glasses, etc... So I have a fanny pack on my tummy that holds all my junk, and I sewed a transparent map sleeve to it that I just have to flip up to look at the map while riding.

Another trick that works very nicely with any bike, but especially with bents: carry a long rope (15ft or so) with you at all time, with one end knotted into a loop. If you have to do something on the road to the derailleurs, change the chain, remove the wheels, etc... anything that requires lifting the wheels, find a tree with an overhanging branch, or a wide street sign, pass the loop in the left handle, around the branch, around the right handle, and pull up to lift the front of the bike. Then pass the rope around the branch again, around the rear rack or the seat, pull up to lift the rear of the bike, then tie the rope somewhere on the bike. Voilą, instant workstand.
