Dang Gremlins!

On my way to work this morning my mirror came undone. It didn't fall off the bike but slide right down the stem to the grip. Weird. Guess I need to double check the other one before I head home today. Dang gremlins! I do have a gremlin bell but maybe I left the bike sitting too long and they wiggled free and went for higher ground...

Don't know much other than what was written in the document that came with the bell and what I've seen on the internet about gremlins and bells.

The bells are supposed to trap the gremlins who are apt to making things go wrong with the bike. The ringing makes them fall off the bike and onto the road, which is why you are supposed to put the bell close to the ground. They work if you buy them for yourself but are supposed to work much better if some one else gives you a bell.
