Thinking back on my first time fixing bikes at a out-of-state music festival

We had to improvise repairs with just the basics in our van, which really tested your skills. Now, with everything so planned and ordered ahead, it's efficient but misses that raw, on-the-fly feel (if that makes sense).

That makeshift repair shop at Bonnaroo one year was pure chaos, but we figured it out with whatever was around. I totally get what you mean about missing that kind of raw problem solving. What was your favorite weird tool you had to use?

A hair clip? You used a hair clip as a tool? That's next level.

My friend used a spoon to tighten a screw, how wild is that?
