I should have thought of mentioning this before.
Most of us will be familiar with the pant leg "cinchers" from bicycle shops. They're often reflective with a piece of Velcro at the ends to fasten them around your ankle and keep your pant leg out of your chain. They're nice. But they usually cost 6 to 8 bucks, they're cheaply made and don't last long and when one of them breaks (all too soon) you have to make a trip to the bike shop. And maybe find that they don't have any or that the ones they have are shoddy.
To get around this I got myself a roll of Velcro. It's two-sided stuff, the rough part on one side, the soft part on another. I think it's 25 or 30 feet. Smaller than a large pancake, though a bit thicker. Fits in the tool bag with a pair of scissors easily. I got mine at Harbor Freight for, I think, $6.95.
Now my cuffs are always fastened. If I lose one I just cut another piece off and it can be used for other miscellaneous fastening jobs.
Definitely a handy item to carry.
