ooooh good idea, I have a teeny tiny Velogirls cow bell thanks to Lorri.

"Does anyone else carry a lucky charm?"

Yes I do. You'll be surprised I think.

Before ALC 3 a friend of mine gave me a pin of an angel on a motorcycle She couldn't find a bike angel. * But you know how our friends worry. But from any distance it's simply an angel on a bike. Hmmm, she does look a little like one of the gals on moto crew Anyway....

She said I was not to ride any faster than that pin could fly

So....the angel is always on my under seat bag.

Yeah yeah I know probably sacriligeous to have an angel "watching my butt", my good freind is Wiccan, I'm Jewish and bat for the other team but it's worked so far Knock on wood. Must be one of those non denominational angels ;-)

The worst that's happened is the dreaded FU fall. Maybe get 2 more for my other bikes

* and I just found one:

Says "wearing this pin may actually help keep your tires inflated!" And here I thought that was the Continentals.
You do know that "knock on wood" is a reference to the cross ...?

Maybe I should wear the Golem pendant a friend brought me from Prague. I use it as a good luck charm when travelling. It only protects me from serious accidents while gladly letting my luggage get lost so I can go out shopping on the insurance money.

Or maybe this will be a way to use those cowbell earrings ... very lightweight, nice tinkly sound, but waaaayyy to uncool to actually wear. Anybody want half my pair?
