Post some random life hacks or tips how to make life easier that are related to bikes. I have no idea how many there are so hopefully this thread will help someone out!

1) Quick releases can be used as emergency tire levers
2) Your saddle can double as a wrist splint, and your seat post as another splint
3) If your goggles get fogged up, pop the lenses out and just wear the goggle frames. This will still help to keep mud from your eyes
4) You can use your wheel as a bottle opener if you pedal and wedge the bottle between the spokes. Clearly not recommended...
5) Pretty obvious but an old tube and zap straps can be used as a ghetto chainstay protector

Any others?
