Rode last week with a friend with Di2. He said to himself, " better charge the bike tonight or I won't be riding tomorrow". Same ride, my bike computer quit after 3 miles. I forgot to charge it after the previous few day's riding with it. Maybe someone should develop a cycling jersey / fabric with built-in solar receptacles that you plug in to charge the Di2 system and bike computer?

+1 I've now met several people in their 80's still riding daily. Based on that, we have a lot of technology change to endure.
