Bikes: (2) ti TiCycles, 2007 w/ triple and 2011 fixed, 1979 Peter Mooney, ~1983 Trek 420 now fixed and ~1973 Raleigh Carlton Competition gravel grinder

I run electronics free. (Well almost. Cell phone that I usually cannot get to in time if I get called so I usually don't even try and a blinkie on all my bikes. One bike has a simple computer, cadence and HR for the trainer.) So, except for clincher instead of tubular, not that different from my rides 40 years ago.

Every time I think of going "modern" I think of the cost, the hassle, the time spent, the mental energy spent and think "Is it worth it? Does it make my riding better? My life better? Will I be happier?" Until the yeses outnumber the no's, I"ll stay electronics free.
