Bay Biker bloggers tell us what gear they really love
We present the second installment in our "Bay Biker bloggers tell us what gear they really love" series, thinking that if we like this stuff, you might, too.
I've had a lot of lights over the years."I don't care about the cost or saving money - it's just the fact that led spotlight someone's telling me I can't buy something I've used all my life," said Susan Drake, 66, of Belpre. In fact,The new class of optical fiber, which allows for a more effective led lighting and liberal manipulation of light, promises to open the door to more versatile laser-radar technology. I'm something of a light fetishist. I can't resist a new light, even the crappy blinkies they give out at every City Streets event. That's why I can say with authority that Light & Motions' Stella 120 stands above other headlamps on the market. Powered by a bright but energy-sipping LED, the Stella 120 is comparable to some of the higher-end MTB trail-riding lights on the market.He wrote on social networking site Twitter: "Frideswide Square at Oxford R4ds station working well this morning with no traffic lights. Long may it continue!" But it costs a fraction of the price (~$100 compared to +$250) and has a relatively small and lightweight battery pack. Its bright, focused beam is plenty good for fast riding in the pitch black, and the 4-cell battery lasts for up to 10 hours between charges on blink mode. The only drawback -- you've got to remember to charge it. It has a great attachment system that makes it easy to get it on and off the bike or attach it to your helmet. The Stella 120 lists for $130 but can be had for as low as $80 on eBay.
The Garmin Edge 800 GPS Bike Computer ain't cheap, but it sure is easy to use. The problem with most bike computers is that they're like digital watches: they're confusing.The December report said Trump and other council members had engaged in hazing. Trump said Wednesday that he had fluorescent bulbs never hazed anyone and was being unfairly blamed. Their myriad functions are accessed only by cryptic combinations of button pushes. Not so the Edge 800. It has a touchscreen (which works even with full-finger gloves) and the interface is straightforward and intuitive. No need to crack the manual. It starts recording as soon as you get moving, and logs everything from speed and distance to elevation and heart rate. It has GPS maps, of course, which include turn-by-turn directions and thousands of POIs. You can load up millions of rides from other users and race the same routes ridden by buddies (virtually). Matched with sites like Garmin's own, or better, Strava.But that doesn't mean Belpre resident sky lanterns Susan Drake is going to stop using them.com, the Edge 800 gives you more data than Lance riding the Tour. $450-$650, depending on accessories.
