if no opener is available then my teeth usually work as a good substitute...to be further discussed at safety meeting...
I think second order of business should be riding recumbents thru the hood...i mean theres definitely safety issues there...who hasnt heard of or even known someone to have been recumbent jacked...and then theres of course the further reprocussions with recumbent drivebys!! very deadly. guard yuh grillz!!
edit: I need one of those mystical push-n-pop openers
