Yep, it was the first, last and only Lucas instrument that didn't short out and start fires.

I really like Strava and Cyclemeter. It's fun going through my ride history and seeing how my times have dropped for certain segments that I ride.


Sometimes I'll tell my non-riding friends about some of my rides. They get that look like they don't believe me, so I whip the app out to show them.


The Strava global heat map is great. I can't say enough good things about it. It has helped me to find and plan new riding destinations near me. I also like to get on there and look around potential vacation destinations for places to ride.

I still remember my first CatEye computer. It was the size of a meteorite. Don't do Strava or GPS, but I do have a PGS--Paper Guidance System. Cue sheets are real.

What's the best cue sheet material? I've heard steel, but that seems excessively heavy.

But steel is the most comfortable on the eyes.
