Quality of life upgrade. I was sure I'd just be a fair weather rider and never need a fender, then it rained for a solid week and I needed to ride. Result: Wet shoes & wet pant legs. Problem now solved. Always opt for safety orange!

The capslock indicator on my keyboard is weedy and easy to not notice which is frustrating. Armed with an @adafruit.com ItsyBitsy and 5 minutes of coding I now have a capslock indicator I can't possibly miss! I'm currently debating if it should rainbow cycle 🤣 I might #3dprint a case one day
