I have been using that Velcro tape a ton for all sorts of bike stuff - mostly for carrying items. Like if you take your jacket off for a climb, just bundle it up on the bars and secure with some velcro. Weighs next to nothing and easily stores wrapped around the handlebar.
I'm also pleasantly surprised every time I buy a product like that at a hardware store - it might have been $15 for a fairly large roll and it reminds me the premium we pay for something once it's branded as a bike product. If Velcro just stuck a picture of a guy on a bike on the package and called it "DIY Enduro Straps" or something, it would be $65 at least.
