Ever been stuck miles from nowhere with a broken bike? Honestly, I used to be like Lisa, packing light and hoping for the best. But last summer, I had a chain snap on a remote trail, and my multi-tool was useless. Tbh, I had to walk for hours in the heat before I found help. Now I carry more tools, even if it adds weight, because pushing a bike sucks. Ngl, after that, I see Jake's point about being ready for anything.

Nice, that feeling is the best.

Exactly, that analog feel is everything. Clean transfers look sterile and wrong. Embrace the fuzz.
