Chamois Butter - Not just for Butts Anymore!

[AppleTree]

So, I was doing my bike errands this morning and taking the long way home, and stopped to put some lip balm on...only it had fallen out of my pocket. RATS. I'd rather ride with a dry chain than dry lips.

So I'm rifling through my panniers looking for some suitable alternative or maybe a spare tube that had fallen in the corners somewhere. Nothing. Oh, but there is one of those little disposable tubes of chamois butter. Hmmm... I wonder.

Actually it worked rather wonderfully. Just one smear lasted me the rest of the ride home. Ah, soft moist, happy lips. The only drawback being that it doesn't have sunscreen, but then, I supposed the usual place you put it doesn't see much sunshine anyway.

I took a photo where I stopped on my way home, near the fish ladder. I love that my bikes seems to be bathed in heavenly light!
