I'm 97.635% sure I am not the only adult here that rides a bicycle.

What traditional knife or knives do you bring along on your bicycle rides?

I generally have a SAK of some sort in my pocket, and an Old Timer 6OT on my belt if riding in normal street clothes, or in the trunk tool bag if wearing cycling clothes.

Edited the title to reduce mistakes like the above post.
 
No kidding. I don't carry a traditional while cycling due to the difficulty in securing it with normal riding gear.

My traditional blades are a bit more expensive and a bit harder to find so while loosing any knife is a drag losing one of them would be unbearable.
 
Picked one of these up a couple years ago for that purpose. Rides in Jersey pocket or tool bag, and not too expensive if lost.
 
Whenever I'm riding my bike around town i carry whatever is already on me, because I'm just riding my grandfather's old beach cruiser.

Just a SAK Rambler in my seat bag when riding my road bike. When I'm mtn biking I generally have something non-traditional clipped to my pocket.
 
This last summer I rode with a Vic Farmer in my tool bag under my seat. I had a GEC Mako in a cargo picket of my shorts when I rode to the lake a couple of times.

I even put "TRADITIONAL" in the title. Selective reading skills, I guess.
 
Not to worry. Comes with the territory.
 
I'm not hardcore by any means, but I do enjoy a ride when the weather is nice. I tote along an Opinel 8 and a Leatherman.

I don't wear 'cycling clothing'. I wear shorts when hot and just regular blue jeans otherwise. I'll be carrying either a SAK Explorer + or my Grand Portage.
 
My usual ride is some flavor of English 3-speed. I wear street clothing, so I carry whatever I happen to have in my pocket, which is usually an Opinel with a slipjoint of two blades or more.

A proper ride that, Henry! I generally carry a Colonial 2205 along with an adjustable wrench in the toolbag of the Raleigh Sport. Would have done the 2 piece British Army knife, but the screwdriver did not work as well.

If I ride something more modern, or when weight is an issue, I usually carry a Park Tool MT-1 and a Christy sliding knife, both hanging off of a D ring.
The little Christy knife has helped to pluck thorns for tire repair on several trips.
 
On short day rides I carry my CF Dowell Backpocket, on longer tours I carry a Vic farmer along with a modern locker.
 
Very nice bike you have there, Pinnah, and Harry. Traditional bikes to go with your traditional knives. I'm kinda fond of the old traditional lugged steel bikes, myself. 1989 KHS Moint Summit is my ride. In the process of converting it to an on/off road touring bike.

(Frank, if this post is out of line, my appologies.)
