    Wow surprising! Very sharp photos, edited well! I was expecting it to be an expensive DSLR! I think the Warsaw tourist board will be in touch soon asking for permission to use some of these pics. :)

    Great pics of Warsaw! What camera do you use? They look too good for a phone camera! Or perhaps you're just a good photographer! :D

    Haha That piece of tarmac is wide for Torquay!! I think it would blow your mind if you had to drive on the roads around there. I'm from the UK and find it daunting. Most of the roads were made for Horse and Cart! Even worse if you're a truck driver. One wrong turn and you might be stuck! Like...

    Garmin Questions

    I think I agree with @fooferdoggie , the Garmin Edge Explore 2 sounds like it will meet your needs.. Its a good device for those mainly wanting a navigation device. Big 3" display, and touchscreen so its easy to change settings etc... It packs quite a lot of features considering its price point...

    Garmin Questions

    Ah yeah sorry if I wasn't clear! Yep the higher models log full data from all of the sensors available. Its just the Edge Explore 1 (and I'm assuming 2) don't do this. It just displays certain data rather than logging it. I'm looking to upgrade myself soon due to this. I notice Wahoo's new...

    Garmin Questions

    Yep I have a Garmin Edge Explore (Gen 1). Its a good cycle computer given its price point but it does have a few faults, they've hopefully addressed this in the newer Gen 2 version. It has a big 3" screen and it is touchscreen. It also has Power, Start/Pause and Reset buttons. They claim it has...

    On @Stefan Mikes recommendation I checked out the Wahoo computers and I'm impressed! I did notice on the Wahoo website that they're releasing a new cycle computer soon. Just how soon I don't know! Not sure if I should purchase now or hold out for the new version. 😐 (I need that data! :))

    Jealous of the blue skies and sunshine! :) This was my day yesterday. Photo taken around 2pm. Murky, misty and grey! Don't you just love British weather!😄

    Are We Condemned to Strava?

    Excellent! I definitely need to pay more attention to Strava! :)

    Damn.... I never thought about this before but I might just put a handful of cable ties to my saddle bag just in case! ;)

    Battery recharge with dynamos?

    I am constantly amazed at what some riders can do! Yesterday I saw a guy riding a traditional bike and he was flying along at pace, easily 20mph+. I was struggling to keep him in my sights! I'd guess he was a good 15-20yrs older than me too! He wasn't riding anything flashy either just a simple...

    Hi Stefan, I will do proper write up soon! I must say I don't think my first ride out was really representative of what this bike can do. The bike performed well but I wasn't at my best. I was somewhat sleep deprived (4-5 hours each day) having worked 5 nights in a row beforehand. I also hadn't...

    Hi Stefan, I have connected my garmin but I noticed on a few of your strava screenshots that it displays more data than mine! I only have a Garmin Edge Explore - and its the older Gen 1 version too. I might need an upgrade! :oops:

    First ride out on my new Turbo Vado SL 5.0! 😀 I have to admit I had about 4 hours sleep before setting off and I paid the price - I was knackered after my ride! :oops::D Rode to a usual haunt the Ashridge Estate. Picked up a few refreshments at the Visitor Centre / Cafe they have near...

    What's the opinion on the Grin Freegen... Seemed a pretty nifty concept.

    Great photos Stefan! Your idea of riding the bridges really paid off! You caught so many of the sights and attractions that I'm thinking of one day doing it myself! :)

    2025 Vado

    Ah bugger that's annoying! Yeah mine came with these extra springs for the Future Shock... The only thing I had to change was the seat post height, which was set for someone about 7ft tall! :rolleyes: I also had to adjust/tighten the front light but other than that it's been spot on. I done 36...

    2025 Vado

    Haha ☺️ Yep XL frame! If I had chosen a large frame the seat post would have been pretty high (as in previous photo!) but the XL is about right. I am fairly tall... around 6'2/6'3'ish but also fairly long body/arms to match my long legs, so I need the reach of the XL so I'm not sitting too...
