Stupidest Bike Accessory Ever

So if everyone is using the re-usable shopping bags (as indicated by the thread with the same name) then WHERE are the plastic ones coming from??? Does everyone have a 'secret stash' they didn't own up to in the other thread??? Why is it ok to use plastic bags on your saddle but not ok to use them while grocery shopping???

THESE, my friends, are the REAL questions!

Oxys i know you're being silly, but i still have a mountain of plastic bags, most from before we were using reusable ones, but some that were put INTO my reusable bags.. many are from the shopping trips where we forgot our bags too.
oo
more thread drift. I have brought back plastic bags from Italy that disintegrate after a few months. Amazing to see!

I got a "compostable" plastic bag from my LBS on my last trip there. It's still sitting in my living room--I need to fill it with kitchen scraps and throw the whole thing in the compost to see what happens.

Just so everyone knows, I was joking . . . . .

FYI, there are several versions. I got the waterproof one, and as long as its on there my saddle has never gotten wet. I noticed they say the one I have doesn't fit women's saddle's but it fits great on my Brooks Finesse.

See this link, I have the top one:

I've discovered that this makes fabulous popcorn and I use a lot less butter than with an air popper.

I buy the reusable ones and then never ever have them where I need them... like in the grocery store. MOstly they just decorate the my closet floor.

Hence ending up with plastic ones.

i honestly *don't* have a stash of plastic bags, other than the ones that the newspaper comes in, and those are nowhere wide enough to fit on my brooks b68s. the few that i have, i use to line the trash can next to the litter box. i've gotten really good at using reusable bags at the grocery/target/etc, and if i do forget them, i get paper bags, which i then use to line the paper recycling bin. so i don't have a bunch plastic bags around to use to protect my seat, therefore i'm very glad to have my brooks saddle cover.

I could mail you a bunch!

[Biciclista]

I could mail you a bunch!

My plastic bags are used for the poop-a-rama cleaning session in the backyard.

I'll have to order one of those covers.
