When I first started biking about. I just used a paper map and wrist watch. Local Townhall had bike path maps. Really more of a budget issue then anything else.

It is rather alarming how much phones have changed the way we interact. When on lunch I'd guess 9/10 are on some kind of device. The older workers tend to use tablet for reading or simple games. rest are on social media/ youtube.

Admittedly I primary read books via the Kindle App, Twitter, news pages while on break.
