There's a classical Chinese proverb that goes "Don't adjust your crown under the plum tree."
The idea is that if you're standing under a plum tree and reach up to adjust your cap,
someone watching you from a distance might misunderstand and think
"Hey, that guy's trying to steal the plums!"
So the moral is to avoid behavior that could be misinterpreted or cast suspicion on yourself.
Anyway.
The other day a customer gave me some peaches.
Later, I modified the box like this.
And mounted it on top of my helmet.
If I try to adjust the rear adjuster while waiting at a traffic light
with everyone watching,
they might think "Hey, that guy's trying to steal peaches!"
So I don't recommend making something like this.
People might say "that guy's crazy in the head,"
but whether they're making a comment about the actual shape of my head
or referring to something else entirely remains unclear.
