Bicyclists can Ride on the Cheap and Stay Safe, Look Great      

·         Substitute garden gloves for bike gloves. (Prevent blisters and poison ivy.)

·         Wear a construction worker’s high-visibility vest. (Safety first.)

·         Glue glow sticks to bike, helmet, clothing to create unique reflective designs in green, yellow, and blue. (Remove before washing clothes, or not.)

·         Use duct tape to fix punctured tubes. (Spare no expense when you forget spare tubes.)

·         Wear a child’s helmet. (Caution: Must have a kid-size head to model good behavior.)

·         Turn tube socks into arm warmers for chilly morning rides. (Cotton is the new neoprene.)

·         Recycle wheel spokes by bending spokes and attaching a dental mirror. (Cavities and cars are both scary and larger than they appear.)

·         Learn dog whisper Cesar Millan’s methods to calm Cujo whose cutting to the chase. (Ride with an attitude and a first aid kit for dog bites and bee strings. Just saying.)   

·         Pick up a T-shirt with a bicycle club’s century ride at the thrift store. (Impress friends and family without pedaling 100-miles.)
