GearWrench makes a stubby ratcheting 15mm combo wrench, and one slightly longer that flexes up 180 degrees on the box end. I throw the non flex version in my tiny saddle bag and it works great.

I suppose even if fees were not an issue, this is probably still a deal breaker, since bad cyclists mainly endanger themselves, whereas bad car drivers endanger everyone. Thank you for your well...

I'll give you that no one here can agree how to ride, but I think at least a couple rules on how not to ride are recognized by all of us here - ride with traffic, not against it for instance. Does...

What would you say is a safe age for someone to ride on the street down a divided, 4 lane, main thoroughfare with heavy traffic? I would say as a driver and as a cyclist that I wouldn't want cyclists...
