There's very little on the bike, given what you say you've done.

What about a bit of leather? It does come pretty thick sometimes and bits could be glued together. We rented a bit of our workshop to a leatherworker so I am fairly familiar with the stuff. I may even have some bits lying around.
I also have I think a bit of conveyer belt from a quarry which is pretty tough.

I just absent-mindedly got on an overland train instead of an underground one. This resulted in an interesting, and highly circuitous, return journey from Chiswick.

Xtracycles have remarkably Tardis-like qualities; there's several bottles of fruit juice in there, two parcels, a bag of crisps, a lock, and for some reason, a tandem gear cable.

A gear cable, tandem or otherwise, can't take that much room up.
When did you get the tandem?

Nice sunny morning tho' a cold northerly breeze so out early for a trike spin before the traffic hots up. Nearly everything was heading into town probably for work. Locals give me a wave every time.
Managed to get my clothing layers right but my fingers were beginning to get a bit chilly. Good to get out for a change .
No tents on the campsite which seems to be pretty common as they are all in camper vans or motorhomes these days.
This may change when the summer appears.
Library day I think so need to go and get changed into more conventional clothing.

I know that, I just mentioned it for completeness.
Fer goodness sakes, you try and include interesting details and what happens?
Humpf.
I have to use a tandem cable for the Xtracycle rear mech because normal gear cables are about 5 cm too short. Why I'm schlepping the thing about in the Xtracycle itself I'm not entirely sure.

It's not being carried just in case the current one decides to go seperate ways?
What flavour were the crisps, and how big a bag?

Possibly, or possibly because we all know that if I don't have it on the bike, it'll go missing as soon as I need it.
The only true flavour; Salt and Vinegar.

Then you go and buy a replacement, whereupon the one you bought it to replace suddenly reappears.
Not that big, and still unopened, then.
