After last week's near disaster, I re-did the steering mast latch on the 16" folder, using hollow bolts rather than end caps. Then I skewered them with a bolt I had handy. The safety bolt loosened slightly once on the ride home, but the main bolts stayed secure. The ride in was fast, and the bike felt solid. Halfway on the ride home I started to bonk and was worried I was getting sick. I was fatigued all evening, but I did have a little more sugar than usual yesterday at work, plus my wife offered me a sweet pastry for dessert. This morning I'm feeling better as the morning progresses, but I'm gonna drive as I'm running late and don;t want to stress myself out riding in case I am fighting off a cold or flu or worse.

It's a kludge...but it's my kludge.
