Cluttered Handlebars: Since cycling with an action camera I've found my bike's handlebars to be somewhat cluttered. From left to right there is a bell, reflector, horn, light, and camera.

I had considered getting a Minoura "Space Grip" handlebar extender, but I didn't get round to it.

Wheel Rim: After returning from my recent camping trip to Penmaenmawr (see below) I discovered my touring bike's rear wheel rim was cracked. Likely worn thin from the brake pads. The Alex Rims were also noticeably flared.

Camping at Penmaenmawr:

I had previously stayed here in 2013 as part of my tour of Snowdonia.

Bike Pumps: The top pump was the one originally supplied fitted to my touring bike back in 2012, and its internal gubbins now seemingly worn out. I looked for a replacement and chose the Zefal one; it feels somewhat cheap by comparison though and the inner shaft has quickly become rusty. Disappointing.
