Zip Zip Zip

Zip ties are quite useful. "The original zip tie came out in 1958, and the design hasn't changed much since. The ties were originally designed for the purpose of organizing electrical wiring, since they are ideally suited to bundling cables and other clusters of wires. Multicolored zip ties can even be used to create color coded cabling, which can be very useful. Once zip ties hit the market, people came up with plenty of other uses for them." They can be used as hand cuffs, as shoe race or substitute for belt, as a key chain, and used in packaging, gardening, or even in heart surgeries- The zip ties are threaded through the rib cage and fastened around the sternum-. Some people use bright florescent ones on their luggage to help identify it at baggage claim.

If you are gonna go for a ride you should have some in your tool box just in case. You can use them to fasten your bike parts that come loose as temporary solution.

They are better looking than duct tape to put your bike together although single strip of duct tape can withstand 65lb of force. I am not a fan of Oklahoma chrome...

You can also find out how much your front shock is bottoming by tying one on the fork.

Some company makes Chrome colored zip tie for bikers who likes as much as chrome on their bikes...

A company in Korea, Lufdesign makes leaf zip tie. They are pretty cute. I have no intention of using them for my bike, though. I am sure it is nice to put one on your ghillie suit.


There is also starling silver zip tie rings from Metalnat. they also make hose cramp rings, snap button earrings and such. I don't need those as long as I got a ring pull from beer cans on my finger. Yay!
