what kind/make of wallet do you all carry, my current one is a straightforward wallet and velcro closure, but and I'm not sure what it is made of, I find over time the hard corners damage my jersey, I know there plastic ones and I don't want one of those.
So, what do you use.

    The form of a twenty pound note.

    Any change then goes in a polythene money bag, the type you get from the bank. When I next go out, all change etc is replaced with a new twenty pound note.

    This goes in my saddle bag, but it's also got no corners / velcro to snag your jersey.

    Everything (cards, cash, phone, cafe lock, replacement liner gloves goes in a Ziplock medium heavy weight bag, lasts ages which goes in the jersey pocket. I think it's rude to just take a note to all the tea stops so generally try to have change.

    Everything goes in my jersey pockets. Phone in one, money in another and mini pump in the centre third one. Never take more cash than I'd need at a cake stop.

    Phone, notes & ID in a ziplok.

    Sorted.
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    Cycle Surgery sell zipped closure type holders, come in two sizes. Big one i put my bank cards, £20 note, donor card, driving license, warrant card. Small one is perect size to keep my smart phone in. Both fit perfectly in jersey pockets & don't have any sweat or condensation type issues. Strong, light & translucent. It's a winner!

    Tissues & Vaseline?
    Just what do you get up to on your cafe run?
    Forget that. I don't want to know. :wink:

    I tape mine behind my scrotum on that weird bit of your body between your scrote and your bottom known as the Blair: that way only I know where it is and if I get knocked off I know that no one will steal my money. I can also deny having any money on me if I get held up at gun point.

    Its known as a 'bifkin' round these parts, and mine is currently very sore from my new Charge Spoon, bit of Calamine and Glycerin cream doing wonders though. Just incase you all wanted to know those personal intimate details regarding my nether regions. :lol:

    Back on track... I use sunglasses bag (Oakley) if it's dry, small plastic zip-loc bag if it's raining.

    Fits one credit card, couple of notes + change.

    On a serious note, I actually really do tape mine behind my scrotum.

    Nap: You're an officer of the Law: is there an offence that I can busted for - I agree that I can't just thwack out Little Yossie at anytime and extract my wedge from my Blair, but if I do that in private and then hand it over to the lass (trhe wedge that is, not Little Yossie) behind the counter, can I get busted by the Babylon for getting legal tender all minging?

    Probably not, but im sure having the queen's face nestled between balls and crack must be treason....surely?

    No, really, he is. We all know he is. It's a well known, proven and documented fact. So there.

    I used to use a ziploc bag (what we geologists call sample bag and dope smokers would call a baggie) but that did nt stand up to a walk in severe, even by Welsh standards, rain and wind necessitating a phone repair.

    I used to carry my phone, ID card (Compulsery in NL, but also quite useful should the worst happen) and a 5 Eu note for the cafe stop in there but I'm now thinking of doing it properly and getting one of these bad boys - http://store.aquapac.net/explore-produc ... 4-044.html

    Whole lot then goes in my Jersey Pocket, keys can get wet so I don't bother with them in a bag...

    Ok, on a serious note (as if you can take this thread seriously).

    Get plastic bag from supermarket. Stick money and credit card in it. Scrumple into a ball. Stick it all in back pocket. The fact that the bag wraps the wedge/credit card about 20 twenty time means that wedge stays dry.

    As discussed on spinal injuries thread, Neurofen carry pack carries everthing else and has been completely waterproof in 5 years of using.

    Chrissie Wellington swears by sandwich bags for i-Pod, by the way.

    Poundshops do a little digital camera case made from neoprene with a zip - holds money, mobile, ID, sticky patches etc. Or you could be a complete ponce and pay £40 for one of those Rapha pouches...
