Garage door opener?

[Ocean1]

Mine is the standard Merlin size (about the size of a large cell phone). It sits in the side pocket of my jacket in such a way that I can activate it just by hitting the pocket with a gloved hand.

Ah, a technophobe...

No no, a technophobe would get off the bike to open the door

No no, a technophobe would ride his donkey into the barn.

Of course barn doors in the days of donkeys as primary transport didn't have electric openers so the point becomes mute.

Or the point becomes a mule.

You're missing the point entirely.

The world is a toy box full of sub-optimised and feature-poor toys.

And if the ones we do have ain't broke, it's 'cause they don't have enough features yet.

My garage door opener must be more feature-rich than I thought. Fingers crossed it's been fine for a while now but it used to play up big time in wet weather. Exactly when you need it most! (not so much of an issue on the bike but when in the cage one can get pretty wet in the 3m to the front door).

Don't tell my wife that! It'll start another bleatfest about me "fiddling" with the bike formerly known as "our bike" (before I fiddled with it).

I sit outside on my bike and rev fuck out of it until the missus opens the door.
