Non-traditional Biking Gear

I travel a fair amount for work. I snag the cheap shower caps from hotels and stick them in my biking rain coat. When riding for a long time in the cold rain (say, for example, the entire first day of the MS150  this past June), putting one over your helmet to keep the rain from infiltrating your helmet can make a big difference.

And then, of course, I carry one of these little horns.
