Thank you to the person who handed in my GPS

When my computer died of drowning, I was a lost sole, never knowing how far I rode or how far I had to go.

Perhaps if you were re-attached to the leather upper you would have been offered guidance…

2 of my 6 bikes have no computers, so liberating. I no longer care if a battery change loses all my data for a bike.

That’s about the right ratio. On my MTB and my touring bike I need some sort of navigational capability. I could take a map and compass instead if there were up to date maps. But the GPS also records where I have been which is handy. On my road bike I like to record my performance more or less just as a reference (I’m not a Strava kind of rider). So I move my GPS from one bike to another depending on which bike I am riding. Some people use their phone for this kind of thing but there are plenty of places out in the bush where there is no mobile signal and so you need “offline” maps anyway.

On my fixie and my crap bike I don’d need or have a computer of any sort.

Great story – I love some good news

When the withdrawal symptoms got too severe, I bought and $9 el cheapo. Now I am waiting for Aldi to bring back their $10 specials so I know how many calories I burn as well as how much fat I have lost.

Its all about STRAVA, you are not in unless you have a STRAVA account and can brag over a Schnitzel and beer (the mountain biker equivalent to coffee) at how you beat them on a segment……..

Indeed, it tells me whare I have been and how fast I did it!

Isn’t that nice.

No doubt you would be lost without it 🙂
