    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Quite a while ago there were links to this plastic cases that held, money, credit card license. I did a forum search and cannot find the link. I don't know what they are actually called. Does anyone remember these.

    Thanks.

    I think those were termed "fred."

    There's something from Timbuk2 - a wallet or something - that was, I think, what you are describing, JoAnn. But, a baggie works, too!

    Yeah zip-locs or sandwich bags stuff nicely into the back jersey pocket...

    I like my jimi wallet. I have two - one I use on the bike (if I ever ride again...). The other holds my prepay card, and a small amount of cash, for the cafeteria at work.

    Ah, Wahine has one of those and tried to be quite the enabler at Knot's bike shop when we visited Bruno in Seattle. She seems to really like it. I'm still thinking about getting one but I haven't seen them in my LBS yet. I may have to ask them about it. It seems like a good idea for everyday use as well.

    I've seen those advertised, they seem a good idea.

    Myself, I'm a cheapskate. I use a combination of a zip-lock bag, a plastic (card-board reinforced) plastic card-holder & an old patch-kit container to carry money.

    That last little trick of mine confuses many a person, who find it unusual for it to be full of money, rather than the obvious.

    Now, I'd better get back to sneezing, since my flat-mate has so kindly spread a cold to me. It's weird, I survive all winter without a sniffle & with summer on the way I catch a bug.

    The Jimi is quite neat. I sent one to a Secret Sister and longed for one myself. I had bought one but gave it as a last minute present. No I am always cheap when I see them!

    If the zip-lock is too lowly for you I suppose my suggestion of going to the dollar store and buying a small zippered bag is really going beyond the pale.

    I thought jimi (jimmy) was slang for condom.

    I ordered my Jimi last night. Ruby to match my Ruby bike.

    This will go along with my recently bought cube bag to help keep my cyclist stuff all in one place at all times so I can pick up and go in a flash and not forget anything. I forgot my cell phone last week, so that will require a large post it on my bag saying cell & keys As an old boss use to say to forgetful employees, you (in this case I) have a mind like a siv. I just like to think I have too much on my platter

    Cool, "And to top it all, Jimi™ wallet is manufactured in the US from100% recycled materials, and 1% of its sales revenue is invested in the environment."

    I might get one .... when my zip lock bag and patch kit that hold an expired drivers license and a bit of cash in the under seat bag wear out.
