    GIANT RideControl App 2.0

    Just installed the new app on my Android phone - when it connected to the bike (2019 Road E+1 Pro) it said that the module needed updated - took about 3 minutes.

    Strava App

    I have used Strava for more than a year and find it to be an excellent tool to keep track of my riding. The cycle computer that I use is a Garmin Edge 1000 - when I finish a ride it automatically uploads the ride to the Garmin app that then sends it to Strava - not sure how long it takes but it...

    Where Is It Legal To Ride Under Covid-19 Restrictions

    Diongi - I, too, live near Pittsburgh, a few miles south - if you are in that area the Panhandle trail is in great shape, with the part from McDonald to the WV line paved - give it a try. I ride the roads to McDonald then come back on the trail just about every day. dave

    Wet weather.

    Mickey - I have a Giant Road E+ 1 Pro and I get caught in the rain fairly often. The only issue this has caused is moisture getting into the display unit. This caused intermittent operation last winter and Giant replaced it with a (supposedly) more water-proof unit that has worked well since...

Hand and Arm Signals...

    Giant Road E+ review and questions

    I envy you the early Spring weather - I continue to ride throughout the winter but this cold weather, snow and rain is getting boring! Our local ground hog predicts the end of winter and says we will have an early Spring - I surely hope so. dave
