    jimi, anyone? other wallets?

    I've coveted one of these for a long time, even though I had no use for it.

    Suddenly, it occurs to me that this would be perfect for cycling. Takes up little space and carries only the essentials.

    Does anybody have one? Or something similar? What do you use?

    I use the Jimi all the time. I carry 2 wallets - the larger one with the cards I don't use much and money, and then the Jimi if I just want to leave my purse in the house or car and just carry something in my pocket.

    For cycling, I actually carry the jimi in a plastic bag along with some change, sunglass cleaner wipes, inhaler and some other stuff. I feel like the jimi is so small and smooth it might come out of my jersey. I know this is improbable, but I feel safer doing it this way.

    I went to a small store in Tomales (a very small town) and when I pulled out my ziploc bag wallet the cashier said "All you guys have the same wallet!"

    I use this one for long distance hiking when I want to go ultralight:

    Otherwise it's a thicker hip pocket nylon wallet. The thicker wallet goes with me on most bike rides as it fits the jersey pocket just fine.

    This is actually kinda embarassing. When I was hunting for something to carry, I ran across a little girls bike bag. I found it a Wally World. It's leopard print (as opposed to the pink and red flowers). It holds my cell, id, $, chewing gum, and it fastens to my front handlebars.

    Ok, I bit. I ordered 2 (one for me and one for DH). We'll see how they are IRL when they arrive. I always carry a small wallet in my back pocket like a guy, so I am already primed for the smallness of this thing. It sounds cool, and I like the colors

    Let me know what you think. I know of several guys who love them, but haven't gotten the girls' reaction yet!
