Quiet is good

[rydabent]

When I ride, I hate to have any noise coming from my bike or trike. With either, I carry a trunk pack with tools and parts, since I would hate to have to walk home. Often what you carry in a trunk pack bounces around and makes noise. My tip is go to Hobby Lobby or some store like it and get some soft foam. Cut a piece the size of the trunk pack and put it down on the rack, and sit the trunk pack on top of it. You will be amazed at how much quieter it makes your ride.

Nice tip, rydabent. I too hate any noise that comes while I ride bike because it makes me think that something is loose or something is broken..
