I started using "Live Tracking" when I ride, it gets me out of sending ETAs because she knows my route.
Fair enough. Morning bike rides are my time to either listen to the day's news on NPR or catch up on podcasts. It's quiet enough that I can hear oncoming traffic and have conversations with other riders, but I get the wanting to cut the cord while on the bike feeling.
