cable cutting while touring.

So I bring a spare der cable, but how do you cut them? Typical cable
cutters are too heavy to bring for such an infrequent occurance, so is there
a small light one out there? Or how do you cut it, without a tool?

I've never had that problem. But, I have a pair of 24" bolt cutters I
wear on my back at all times when riding, just in case.

Believe it or not, I have done that. There is a park in Albany, CA, which
is a converted landfill. I was harvesting rusty re-bar, which I took home,
converted to a sculpture, and returned to the park.

No, all those pictures were taken before I even discovered the place.
Thanks for the link. It seems to me that most of that art work has
deteriorated or been removed, unfortunately. Of the four pieces that I did,
three have disappeared, and one has been partially removed. I guess I
should be flattered that some people seem to like my work enough to steal
it. I won't be doing any more until I can figure out a way to anchor it
better.
