Gadgets:
1. Crank Brothers M19 Multitool - https://www.crankbrothers.com/products/m19
He also use to carry a wrench to undo the rear wheel so I could patch the tire if needed. Side note, gator skin road tires are amazing.
2. Wool Skirt shawl
Perfect cold weather insulation for rides. Buy a wool skirt from your local thrift shop. Cut it open and add a button to close.
3. DIY vestibule.
PVC pipe, clear plastic, zip ties, metal snaps
I built this for the Seattle rain and it worked great. Kept us riding through the winter. I zip tied it to the monkey bars on our Mundo.
4. Metal pannier basket
I love this thing. Super useful. Hangs off the rear rack. Holds so much for its size. Sturdy. Great for shopping.

Current Project:
I’m building a DIY Long John Cargo bike. I saw Phil Vandelay’s video, https://youtu.be/SDlnDEXlfm8, and plans and decided it was awesome and for me. I didn’t want to spend $2k on a Larry vs Harry. I also saw a video of someone cycling with their dog and need to build it even more now. https://youtu.be/DIPOGQ4-YUg
