When we were in SD over Memorial Day, we pulled off the road in the car and rode the bikes up to Mt. Rushmore. Came back down, loaded the bikes on the back of the car and we were off. SEVERAL MILES down the road, we were getting on the highway when I heard something and looked in my rearview mirror to see my helmet bouncing off the asphalt! I had left it on the roof of the car when we loaded the bikes! I have no idea how it lasted so long on the roof before falling off! We had to find an LBS that was open late so I could get another one before biking the Mickelson Trail the next morning.

Another time, rode to Coors field for a Rockies Game. When the game was over, we were putting on our gear to head out. I always put my gloves on last. I had set them on my rear rack while I got everything else on and rode off with them still there....lost them both! I'd only had them a week
