cheap-o fantastic-o cork grips

I just picked up some shiny silver scouring pads at the 99¢ store and some blue zip ties. No one's gonna out do-it-yourself me!

Plus if any cars get too close my Brillo-pad grips will scratch their paint up.  Biking with a vengeance!

Pretty sure these win for least practical and most self-destructive handlebar accessory:

Have you read the comments on that page? One reader likens that product to the Vietnam War. Finally, now I have a way to relate to my granddad!

I was just thinking yesterday about putting something spiky at the end of a yard stick in celebration and self-enforcement of the brand new law in New Orleans that drivers have to give cyclists 3 ft clearance when passing. I guess now I've got to one-up this guy!

JB I was hoping you would post a picture of brakes.
