Question: What do you do with your keys/key chain???
Counterpoint: What’s worse, forgetting your keys, or losing them en route?

I posted to this thread, "
Keys fell out of saddle bag" :

Has this happened to anyone else? And are there any other ways to secure these items inside a saddle bag. I ride with my headphones on 60-90% of the time so I didn't hear the keys falling off, not sure if I would of anyways.

This thread for me reinforces my “pre-ride" and “post stop" checklists to make sure all my bags and pockets are zippered shut.
