I Love You Guys...
Another example of why BF is the best forum ever:
Recently bought a Garmin Edge 305. Was happy to have gotten what seemed like a great price at the time :$254 w/HRM delivered. (Had I shopped more I would have gotten it for ~$20 less from Geoman).
A few weeks later, a BF member (byte_speed) posts a new thread with great news: there is a $75 rebate on the Edge. That was a well-kept secret as in all my shopping I had seen nor heard nothing nowhere about any rebate... But indeed there was, and thanks to byte_speed (and Bike Forums), me and the cats will soon be $75 richer....
And a salute to Geoman (a Garmin vendor and BF member): I think after he saw that thread he emailed all his customers the rebate information...
Thanks guys! *sniff*

Nah...she wanted that, but alas I talked her out of it....Oh well...she never checks the books anyway. But she does notice packages showing up, and would notice a GPS being moved between the office and the bike.....

wow, you talked her out of it? that's surprising to me. i could and would never share finances with someone. maybe a joint checking account for simplicity but i need to have total control over my money.

Dudes..I don't just make sh*t up..
The rumors are that Garmin is developing a 405 with cycleOps -the device will use Google maps directly and have power readings.
