i keep my helmet and gloves in the garage with the bike. now im going to work in the dark i cant check the helmet before putting it on (no light in garage).

anyone else wonder about stuff crawling into gear? it would be most shit to be bit in the ear by a false widow spider. or at the end of a finger.

Put carrier-bags over your boots and keep your helmet in its bag.

My wife thinks conkers ward off creepy crawlies. We have them all over the house. Put a conker in your helmet.

Had a butterfly fly inside and get stuck right in front of my eyes once, fluttering all around my face, I couldn't see shit. Thankfully it left before it caused any harm, little rotter.

does the conkers thing actually work? the mrs has conkers all over the place in front of every door/window, thought she was a bit nuts when I first saw.


on topic, my gear stays indoors, much nicer putting on a warm lid than one covered in frost...
