My Review of Eleven81 TRI/Nutrition Stem/Top Tube Bicycle Bag - BAGS1238
600 Denir nylon pouch mounts to stem and top tube for easy access. Pouch has Velcro closure for easy access while riding. Pouch has extra pocket for keys, coins, etc. Pouch measures 5"X3 1/2"X1".
another top tube bag...
Pros: High Quality, Good Strap Length, Lightweight
Best Uses: Commuting, Sports, Running Errands, Daily Use
Describe Yourself: Modern, Stylish, Practical, Classic
Primary use: Personal
Yet another top tube bag. When you're looking to buy one of the bags you're looking for 3 things:
1) Velcro closure (much easier to open one-handed than a zipper)
2) 2 velcro straps to attach to the stem (some bags only have 1 strap)
3) Size (small, medium, or large)
My Review of Ravx Bike Basics Bicycle Value Pack - K018
Essentials kit, Includes: Econo X mini pump, Multi X tool, Classic X saddlebag, Patch X patch kit, Econo X features: Dual valve swivel head, Single action stroke, Soft kraton T-handle, Velcro strap and mounting bracket included, Alloy pins, Max pressure: 120 PSI, Multi X features: 6 Hex wrenches:...
Neat little value pack
Pros: Rugged
Best Uses: Mountain Bikes, Road Bikes, City Bikes, Bring it With You
Describe Yourself: Avid Cyclist
There are basically 2 combo kits that have the following: multi-tool, patch kit, saddle bag, tire pump.
The Ravx Bike Basics Value Pack and the Serfas Combo Kit 2. The Ravx Value Pack is a little cheaper than the Serfas Kit 2. However, the Serfas Kit comes with 2 guppy lights (one white, one red) if you're willing to pay over $50. You can also get a Ravx Value Pack with the lights and pay about the same as the Serfas Kit if you choose.

Stupid baby names...
For one thing, why must parents always have to try to be clever and come up with alternate spellings of common names? I'm still waiting for someone to name their kid "Dhey'vidd". I think parents get a discount if they use an extra 'h', 'y', or apostrophe or change an 's' to a 'z' or a 'c' to a 'k'.
And then there's those names where you can't tell if the kid is a girl or a boy. Think Mike Myers as "Pat" from the old Saturday Night Live.
Of course there's those parents who force their daughters into a lifetime of exotic dancing.
This list was pulled from the Beautiful Babies website on Fox 59:
Saphyra
Dawson (no last names, please!!!)
Trevin
Carlie
Kielle
Talitha
Laella (I wonder if she will like paella)
Zara (Has anyone named their kid ‘Old Navy’ or ‘Hollister’ yet?)
Brayden (‘den’ #1)
Hayden (‘den’ #2)
Caiden (‘den’ #3)
Braden (‘den’ #4
Jayden (‘den’ #5)
Jaden (does this count as ‘den’ #6 or is this just an alternate spelling of ‘Jayden’?)
Jackson
Maya
Hussain (not to be confused with Hussein)
Payton (NOT a girl’s name…it’s not even a first name)
Peyton (not any better when spelled like an NFL QB)
Rheyin
Tannyr
Emerson
Rashaan
Ronan
Hunter (in the end there can be only one…)
Zaire (what, Zimbabwe was taken?)
Mikayla (alternate ‘Michaela’ #1)
Makayla (alternate ‘Michaela’ #2)
Italianna (I wonder if her mom ordered the Chicken Italiana at Olive Garden the night the magic happened)
Balian
Brielle
Kassie
Cheyenne (stripper alert!)
Serenity (stripper #2)
Madyson (stripper #3 with the bonus of an alternate spelling)
Destiny (stripper #4)
Brittany and Trinity (stripper twins!!)
Violet Skye (porn star alert!)
Anastasia
Sadie
Taylor (girl or boy? No one knows…)
Carmella (I think they were expecting a boy who would play basketball and fund their retirement…Carmelo?)
Ariyana (ana #1)
Elyana (ana #2)
Marianna (ana #3)
Carma (karma anyone?)
Amara
Katelynn (how many alternate spellings of ‘Caitlin’ can there possibly be?)
Jaelynn (lynn #2)
Caiylen
Jayce
Kira
Azriel (not quite Gargamel’s evil cat from Smurfs fame, but close…)
Rylan
Karlee
Artquan
Brice
Amira
Celia
Mason (cursed to memorize secret handshakes and passwords for the rest of his life)
Matilda (were Helga and Hilda already taken?)
Ryleigh (first of all ‘Riley’ was already a stupid name for a girl…did they really have to go with an alternate spelling?
Adelynn
Alexzandra
Tristan (someone likes “Legends of the Fall” way too much)
Dayton
Addison
Samirra
Ryder
Lilah
Kia (parents apparently didn’t like ‘Hyundai’)
Quinya
Maddox
Alanah
Zaylin
Gage
Marquiz (I assume this is pronounced ‘Marcos’)
Sarai
Ariyah
Jamir
Nicci
Gibson (I hope he’s named after the guitar or the baseball player…not the lunatic anti-Semitic actor/director)
Loghan
Kameron (I love when ‘C’ becomes ‘K’)
Kamryn (alternate spelling Cameron #2)
Camren (alternate spelling Cameron #3)
Ma’Tazia (oh the lovely apostrophe and capitalization in the middle…)
Kayli
Kiera
Torrance
Trevin, Brodin, Gavin (the ‘in’ triplets)
O’Niah (the Irish apostrophe!)
Ambria
Summer (why are the other seasons so ill-represented?)
And last, but not least, the 49th leader of the free world:
