... and watch your shadow !

Last week, when doing one of the 50-55 mph parts pf the commute, I noticed the (about 14") strap of my lunch bag flapping loose behind the bike when I watched my shadow - so immediately this Easy Rider thread came to mind.

I had to slow down anyway for a traffic light, parked it there, and secured the strap "again" - but better - under the bungee cord.

So keep an eye on your shadow, when you have anything with straps on the back. You may secure it fine 1000 times, and it needs to loosen only one time....
