    I am so sorry to hear of your loss Chargeride but as you say, sometimes it is a blessing.

    Yea, it turned out better than expected if it wasn’t for the tail of my jacket flappin’ in the breeze and the sketchy mount. I had it set on superview/hypersmooth boost. In addition to sporting a larger sensor, the GP11 also has hyperview but does also tend to eat through batteries. I haven’t...

    A short clip and accompanying pics as we took to the trails this morning. It was great to log a bit of precious time on the Levo and almost forgot how much fun it was. Hard to believe it’s been a month since my last ride. For a bit of changeup, I decided to shoot with the GoPro strapped to the...

    interesting new garmin radar data

    Incidents might occur regardless of where one rides, even on MUPs. Yes, one does increase risk where there are more vehicles on the road. Unfortunately, that’s life. I don’t have the luxury of riding where there few cars and the rural roads are much safer than any of the provincial hwys. The...

    interesting new garmin radar data

    What planet do you live on? What a silly question.🙄 Do you have a force field that protects you from an imminent impact? It certainly can’t prevent me from being hit but it does give me peace of mind and audibly alerts me well enough in advance to move closer to the edge of the shoulder and when...

    interesting new garmin radar data

    Here's a prime example of the type of idiots that we occasionally come up against. This footage was shot from today’s ride. Posted speed limit is 80 kph and these guys were traveling faster than that. In complete fairness, the majority of drivers are not typical of these fools and drive...

    Sweet lid Dave. 👍A couple of buddies wear Smith helmets. Not only do they boast some of the best protection around they also look stylish. Decent number of vents too. Is that the hand held remote shown in the images for the heads up display. ;)

    interesting new garmin radar data

    I don’t think that it’s much different than when we rode without our bike computers, HRMs, power meters and smart phones. To be quite honest, I never rode with a bike mirror and I guess that practice stuck with me until I discovered how much of a positive difference Varia made in my daily rides...

    You Toe-tally nailed it. Classic tune. Thanks for taking me back to the 70s, Dave! Some great Cdn bands during that decade…The Guess Who, April Wine, Trooper, and perhaps one group that might be closer to your heart and home…..Chilliwack.

    It was still a great ride despite your tumble. Just glad to hear that you’re ok, Bro and a belated happy B-Day. 🎂 Thankfully those boots didn't contain any disarticulated feet like the ones that were washing up ashore on BC beaches a few years ago. 😬

    To each their own. There will always be varying opinions on whether or not Varia is for everyone. For me, and like @mschwett it is a must have accessory. Good to know that a mirror works for you Stefan and for that matter, anyone else. Personally, I don’t road ride without my Varia and I do see...

    With the end of the month quickly approaching and the autumn equinox set to arrive, the final days of summer will soon be a distant memory. Harvest season has all but wrapped up for all but a few locals who are in a rush to get their crops off or need to haul bales from field to storage...

    Creo - squeak from drive

    In my case, Specialized likely felt that swapping out was the preferred method seeing that it was much quicker and more convenient for the customer rather than having the dealer tear it apart in an attempt to formalize a diagnosis.

    Creo - squeak from drive

    Just for clarification, does this involve a brand new Creo or was it purchased used in new condition? Regardless, I recommend taking it to a Spec dealer and have them check it out. It could be something simple and straightforward but motor squeals/noises are hard to diagnose unless you are...

    True, but then I could say the same about Scotland. Videos do have a way of capturing our attention but can only provide a glimpse of what it is really like to cycle amongst such incredible beauty. I can only imagine what kind of footage you could provide for viewers if you were to strap a...
