Alessandra's new Trail-a-Bent from Cambie Cycles in Vancouver, B.C., turns our Viewpoint into a real road train! Maybe we should add a steam whistle ;-)

These stubby wrenches are great for touring. One side drives 1/4" sockets, the other takes insert bits. Spray painted fluorescent orange to make it easier to find them in the dark and rain.
