Y’all know my bike is kinda infamous for being dumb heavy and having allllll manner of bullshit hanging off it. I thought it’d be fun to detail a dozen or so little things that I added in 2025. Some of them are useful, some of them aren’t, all of them mean everything to me.
Is It Piss patch - HAND MADE by @russetpeach and given to me about a year ago when she came down to LA for a little visit. Showing an incredible fade after living on my bag for the last 20k miles.
South City Stitchworks Frame bag - Just the absolute best centerpiece for my entire rig made by @southcitystitchworks from a road sign I found in Portland like two years ago.
Ruthworks handlebar bag - One of my longest saved eBay searches finally paying off AND it was even an 🍊 one! Holds caps and gloves and pens.
Clickstand - I know I know it's a bit ridiculous but I use this to hold open dumpster lids and despite not being designed for this it's such a perfect deployment.
Saddle charms peach and orange - little AirTag holders made by some luxury bag brand that I got for me and Taryn to saddle dangle. Y'know because she's peach and I'm orange.
Jacks Sacks ODS - these on demand storage bags debuted at MADE and they've become an utterly essential part of my setup. I've always wanted something easily accessible in my cockpit that can hold an ENTIRE bag of chips, and Wes invented exactly the thing.
Underberg cap - Dangle I made from a post-drinks drink, shared with @bicyclecrumbs in Indy after we met up at a random cyclocross race.
Hobo Hubworks dangle - hub cleaner that'll live on the extender bar, catching all sorts of who knows what, reminding me of the great times I had in STL both times I've been through.
Angry catfish patch - Finally got to visit this legendary shop up in Minneapolis. Had to put this patch next to the my Hope one because obviously.
Spindl wallet - Lil wallet guy I grabbed from Ez when we went through Atlanta (also when I finally got to meet @wandrer.earth!!!) that I use to hold my fire starting supplies.
Wolf tooth bottle opener - given to me at MADE 2025, which was a damn fun time with all the best people. One of four (I think four) bottle openers I have on my bike but this one is definitely my favorite.
Camp and go slow patch - I just love how perfect of a wordplay this patch-patch is. Easily earned a drive side spot on this hip bag that used to belong to @kat_bikes.
Clover zipper pull - titanium dangle given to me by @fairweatherbummer when we stopped in Chattanooga for a few days waiting out a cold front. Jarrod is one of those long longgg time friends that I don't keep in touch with as much as I should but anytime I'm lucky enough to see him it's always a reminder of how much he should be credited with influencing where I ended up in my current life.
Dead End Badge - Another STL reminder, hand crafted by the incredible Leah Dematta and gifted to me on a group ride the first time I came through. I love looking down at this on my top tube and seeing how it's been aging through all the different climates.
