Always carry a voile strap

Preparedness beats planning. I had the tool I needed to get my sandwich home safely!

Another use I've found for that strap: closing a bag of pretzels bag of pretzels securely closed with yellow strap

I just utilize gluttony to empty the bag, preemptively removing any need to close it in the future.

TIL Voile strap. Nice!

Years ago, I picked up an adjustable-length bungee cord for my bike. It was so good that they've stopped making it now... :(

I bet you could make or find a pretty good 3D printed composite version. Does the strap hold consistently when it's adjusted? Seems like a pretty good idea as long as it doesn't slip.

It looks like there are other versions still for sale too, not sure how good they are but I might pick some up to see...

This Voile thing looks extremely practical. Gotta get my hands on something like this. Thanks for sharing!

I bought one 2 years ago but haven't figured out how to use it properly yet.

Yeah, I should probably pick some up. Right now my Folder's stem uses a velcro loop lol

That's stock on the Folder. It works OK I guess but it does feel a little janky. I usually leave the bars up and roll it with the frame folded.
