Reply To: Why do you leave your car keys on your tire?

I was guilty of this.  For me, I hate stuff in my pockets moving around while I’m riding.  It drives me crazy and distracts me.  I also have this weird fear that I’m gonna crash and jab my key into my hip.  I actually had a friend who crashed with his key fob and it destroyed his hip.  Deep bruises for weeks, it was nasty, his entire leg was black n blue. For the longest time I rode with a pack and dropped it inside the pack but a couple years ago when I started feeling like I wanted to start riding lighter and ditched the pack I needed a place for my key.  The tire it went.  It always freaked me out though so I got more creative and found a cavity under my truck’s wheel well where it fit perfect and was totally discrete.  Luckily I have the keypad now and, like AllGrainer, I lock them inside.  Problem solved for me at least.
