Odd things you eventually figure out...

You're a hoot, kenyonchris.

My new front light is the kind with a wire to a separate battery pack. The battery pack attaches to a standard cyclocomputer type mount, supplied on a separate velcro band.

I spent quite some time, getting quite annoyed, trying to figure out where on my handlebars I had room to attach this velcro banded battery pack,what with a short stem and a bell, a spare blinkie, and my (empty) computer bracket which was really in the way.

Until it dawned on me that I could actually... remove ...the velcro band and attach the battery directly into the computer mount... which was sort of the whole point.

This is only slightly sports related, and it happened a long time ago. I was 7 months pregnant and had been doing aerobics for a couple of years. I noticed my left foot was really hurting me, especially my left toes. I suffered for about a month, and when I went to my doctor for my monthly check up, I was convinced this was from driving my standard car, with a clutch. I even began calling my condition "clutch toe."
The ob-gyn looked at my foot and told me I had athlete's foot! I had been hanging around in my sweaty athletic socks (cotton, of course back then) after coming home from the gym. Problem solved.

I've been dealing with a very painful hot foot issue for a year on my bike. Bought new pedals, bought 3 different pair of shoes, bought expensive insoles, moved my cleat a million different ways, and ridden hundreds of miles in pain......and now discover I have been biking and running with a stress fracture.......duh! It wasn't the pedals or shoes after all! What is it about cycling that make us enjoy suffering???? By the way, my doctor and podiatrist both did a double take at the "tiger stripes" on my foot from my Keens and their comment was "What's on your foot?"
