I've tried adhesive patches without much luck, never tried electrical tape. Today I forgot both phone and lock. I remember riding back when I didn't "need" either one. Times have changed. Got around the 32 mile ride without needing the lock. Kept one eye out at Starbucks. The phone would have been nice to have, though. We saw an amazing display of cactus flowers. We have been riding this road for years, the cactus is always there, never saw any blooms. These were loaded. After the ride I got back to the car, and shot these.
I got the bike out of the car, and shot this "ride" photo.
