    I ride my bikes home occasionally after work. They're always covered in dew the next morning.
    Got tired of using a plastic tarp. Bought a half-cover. Works great but still a tiny bit of dew
    on the seat.

    Made a cargo strap yesterday, tired using bungee cords. Bought two straps, cut one and
    mounted it with a hot screw driver and zip ties. Just loop the other strap around the other
    side.

    Right well chuffed I am.

    Anyone who drinks beer with juice in it should be shot. Then again anyone who drinks Budweiser.....

    Nice idea. I have made different straps with nylon webbing for one thing or another. Never thought to try your idea for joinery. I have always got the wife to threat the needles in the sewing machine then away I go. I can wire a building top to bottom but be fooked if I can figure out where the thread on those things go.

    Hey, it's not just juice, it's clam juice.
    Don't knock it till you try it.
