  1. What's your favourite improvisation ? What's your best use of non related parts for bicycle use ? (or bicycle parts used for not what they were intended!)

    Could be tools, on the road repairs, I don't know thought it might be fun since I'm sure that we all do it.

    Here are my three starters for six

    - Film cannister cap (remember camera film?) for plugging the top of my seat tube so it doesn't fill up with rain when I leave the bike out.

    - My fantastically unstable work stand made from a camera tripod and bits of wood. It does just about work though!

    - I'm sure this one isn't a surprise, cable ties and inner tube for my bottle cage (no braze ons)

    Go on bring out the mad max in you!

  2. a dollar bill for patching a ripped tire.

  3. Here in the UK we'd have to spend £5 (about three dollars) as that's our smallest note!

    Hate to be a stickler for detail...but...£5 is more like US$8.70

    About $15 AUS. We have plastic $5 notes, how many would you like? 😄

    A stickler maybe but probably a lot less likely to get ripped off than me!

    Just to make sure that you are getting your money's worth out of that film cannister ..... I keep one in my saddle bag with a pair of latex gloves stuffed inside. If I have to do a roadside repair, I put those babies on and keep my hands clean.

  8. Attempted (Didn't work) : Guitar string for brake cables.
