Yesterday, my daughter and I biked to a restaurant halfway between
us for lunch. On the way to the restaurant, she noticed that the nut
had disappeared from the quick release on her front axle.
She used some chewing gum in place of the nut, kept a close watch on
it, and then stopped in at a bike shop she knew along the way and
bought a new spring and nut..
I mentioned she could also have used duct tape (wrapped around her
seatpost for emergencies) to tape the quick release lever to the
fork, so it couldn't come out.
Any other ideas, using things which have a reasonable likelihood of
being available?
