The newer model had a crappy paint job. Lol!
Ah, I see. We're invading you. Lol! I wanted to and was going to move Stateside around 2010, but it all backfired.
Haha! I know what you mean. Again, it's that less is more attitude with cyclists. More the fool them having to walk home
It's raining here, too, and foggy. England and its legendary weather, as I'm sure you recall
I kinda always liked the weather in England, except maybe the fog. Man, was it thick at times. I would walk outside and and I could not see the aircraft on the flightline. What I liked was once you got used to the weather you would ride, or do near about anything in the rain/drizzle.
I've been looking at economical bike computers, if there is such a thing. I have one on my mountain bike I can transfer but the thing is it's useless unless I have my glasses on. LOL I'm kinda looking at the Cateye Strada if I want cadence, or the Cateye Padrone. The Padrone has no cadence function but I would be able to read it without glasses. After Saturdays ride I don't know if I even need a computer, I just rode.
What do you use?
