The baby wipes are quite versatile too ... not only are they good for cleaning grease and dirt off your hands after doing some mechanical work, but they are also great if you've suddenly got to make a 'stop' in the bushes when there are no facilities around (the purpose for which they were originally intended). They can help you smell fresh and clean if you've been without showers for a while - I found it refreshing to 'wash' my face with one when I was riding through hotter temps because it got rid of some of the sweat and grime. And if some happen to dry out, they make good kleenexes/tissues/handkerchiefs because they're strong - they won't disintegrate on you. A dry one would probably also work in place of gauze if you've got to cover some road rash. Quite a multipurpose little tool!
