I’ve used this in New York City, year-round for 5 years now. It’s never given me a reason to switch.

A far as multi-state maps go, this thing is the shit.
I could get better maps of each state and I will need to find another if I want to go to the eastern edge of Maine. It cuts off before the Canadian border. But besides that there is good detail. All of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire. Most of New York, a lot of Maine, North East PA and the top of NJ.
I bought this at a Barnes and Noble store in lower Manhattan.

These are the most comfortable shorts I own. They stretch in all directions so riding in them does not constrict. They repel water and dirt. In a light rain water just rolls off, and most dust and dirt is easy to just brush off. They dry really fast and stay clean. The fabric is soft and comfortable but after months of riding there is nearly no wear in the areas that usually show wear after a few weeks.
I really like Outlier and this is not the only article I own. Good stuff.
Made in NYC with Swiss fabric.
Case calls this the Jr. Scout #244. It’s a simple spear blade, can opener, bottle opener, screwdriver and leather punch.
Length closed: 3 ⅜”
I used the leather punch once on my belt, thing works like a charm.
This knife is something that was left behind in a bar I worked at years ago. We held it for 30 days and no one claimed it so I kept it.

This is a review of a fork spoon and knife. And tea spoon.
A vast majority of “outdoor” cutlery sets are either made in China or $40+ Ti, or both.
I didn’t want either of those things. I also did not want something that folds or is just plain small.
The knife is 8” and the tea spoon is 5 ¼” to give an idea.
Kupilka calls this a “natural fiber composite material” that basically means wood and plastic. But so far seems like a good deal.
I bought this at Tent & Trails in Manhattan.
Cost: $12

This is a review of Park Tools Road Wrench 1. It is a short 32mm/15mm to be used on a 1″ headset and pedals.
Two important tools in one. Three really because I need a 15mm to adjust the tension on my Paul canti brakes.
It’s nice that it’s shorter than a shop tool for weight reasons. It’s a hair over 6″.
The two small holes make it able to be mounted between the frame and water bottle cage but I doubt I’ll do that.
I bought this direct from Park Tool. Who, by the way, has great customer service.
Cost: $5
