Useful to whom? It's not like you need to run down to the LBS for an emergency growler cage. That's like faulting a LBS for not having a portable massage table trailer. Anything useful I can get at Universal. https://www.universalcycles.com/ -- assuming it isn't at one of the other local shops. I've been throwing my money at Western Bikeworks lately. https://www.westernbikeworks.com/ Long walk at lunch time, but full of useful things. Pick up a mixte on my way back at Bike Gallery or wander over to Clever. http://clevercycles.com/linus-mixte-...peed-step-thru Woohoo! Now I'm fulfilled! I have a mixte!

I have a very old dynamo hub on one of my bikes but not one
other thing on that list. For which I now pause to give
thanks. Yecch. YMMV.

It's a cage that unfolds really fast, is very strong, and it catches growling animals before they eat you. LOL VBEG ;)
