Get the 4" round cover instead.
It'll fit in your pocket.
I always follow the rules.
The only exception to the rule occurs when I make an exception to the rule not to make an exception to the rule and that only occurs under exceptional circumstances.

The golf hole covers that they use when they mow golf courses work good too. Also Geico had some stand plates that were heavy plastic that they have been giving away at bike events with a picture of the Geico Gecko. (these also had one side with neoprene rubber so you can use on a floor without scratching if you keep your bike in your house) I also throw old 1 gallon paint can lids in my driveway and leave them there for the same purpose.

Heyyy you left your coaster behind!

Oh and thanks for reminding me how hard it was to pick up my 560 lb B-King by myself.

I believe the key here is - don't drop my bike again.

Good video.

In a pinch, step on a pop can and crush it from the top, works great...

Same here. The one I received is a bright yellow color so it's also hard to forget since it stands out against the road.
