Aldi hose clips

[Si]

I find that increasingly I'm using hose clips (jubilee clips) to hold things together on my bikes (especially those that are non-standard in some way, great for attaching bottle cages, lights, luggage, stiffening suspension, etc).

So when I saw that Aldi were doing boxes of about 34 hose clips of varying shapes and sizes or £2.49 I couldn't resist.

At my local motorfators hose clips are around 50p each so the Aldi ones are a bargain in comparison.

The clips themselves are indistinguishable from the more expensive ones that I already have.

I'm into plastic zip-ties. I always carry an assortment of sizes (99p from local £1 shop), and they've been used for fixing anything from annoying rattles to broken mudguard stays. I recently had a "road find" 2 metre varnished hardwood plank zip-tied along my crossbar and hanging off the back.

Zip-ties are the way forward. They now come is just about every size and colour.
As a Police cyclist we carry them in our ruck sac, and they have saved the day on many occasions.
Wilkos and Morrisons sell them v cheap.

Useful for fastening prisoners hands as well I guess!

I suppose the Cuffs come in handy when you need to lock your bike up at the Caff'

seems reasonable to me, unless you wish to inflict corporal punishment upon suspects.
and if that is the case, you really didn't ought to be a copper
