I had a posts earlier about how to park your bike on the street. Well as mentioned you can only reduce the risk, but there will always be a chance that someone is going to knock it over. Two weeks ago it had been knocked over again. To be honest it was a bit my fault as well, as I parked at the end of a one car size space. I should have parked at the front of it, although the street is two way, but most of the cars are coming from one direction. As always the break lever got broken, 22 pounds damage, and the handlebar got a bit more bent. I had already replaced the lever. This event made me thinking though. As it is always the break lever that gets broken I have come up with an idea to protect the lever in these incidents. Voila:
It has made out of a very light, but tough material. It had not been tested and hopefully will never be.
