Reminds me of my stomach before a proper dose of bacon. It's like I
have a cutaway engineered for it. No straps though, that would impede
proper swine flow.

Well, on the one hand, bike shorts lack pockets. But jerseys usually
don't, and there's nothing quite like the experience of trying to peel
the wrapper from a Clif bar that's spattered with mud. IMO, this was
an idea born of a misunderstanding of real-world experience with
bottle clips.

At last, an easy way to carry my cigarettes on the bike!

For all time sillyness, my vote goes to the guy who invented white
brake lever hoods.

Not all; some ATB shorts have pockets.

The Gadget Bottle uses twine? Shellac? Beeswax? Or, is it a weird size
that won't fit commonly available cages?

It probably also was unintentionally designed in a way that will
maximize the chances that if a cell phone is in the cavity, either one
or more of the buttons or the middle of the LCD screen will end up
under the cage contact point. Better to leave the gadget bottle's
cavity empty, put the gadget *inside*, and put a water bottle in the
back pocket of the jersey. Of course, if you do that, then the gadget
bottle becomes unnecessary anyway...

No twine, beeswax or shellac visible. Not even duct tape. How's it
supposed to do anything useful if it doesn't have duct tape on it?

I can't wait to see my first rider pass by speaking into the side of
his water bottle.

Almost makes it worthwhile to buy some for my friends.

Ooh, I don't think you can blame that on the photographer, this time.

Ridiculously, I think this might be a good idea in a jersey pocket, as
it could both protect the phone and make it easier to dig out. You know,
so you can answer calls on your bike.

Campy, for one, sold quite a few pairs of white-hooded levers once
upon a time. Fashions come and fashions go.

[datakoll]

Goop strips of closed cell phone to your foam and try it out.
works great hear.

did they throw Sandy in the slammer?

the photo perspective in sales communicates position to the viewer.
in this case, a parallel explaination: dog elevating rear end in your
direction or rolling over rather than biting you.
