    Bell

    I use the freewheel and my voice most of the time. A simple "Coming by on your left" works pretty well. If that doesn't work out then their headphones are up too loud and wont hear me anyway.

    Garmin training/courses

    I like the courses feature to navigate in areas that I'm not typically in. Training is a different story though, I have other platforms for that.

    Unnecessary Bike Gear

    If you're eating them then i think you're good. I would say eating around 200 calories an hour should be ideal if you're riding over 90 minutes.

    Southern Illinois Cycling Attitude

    I say all that, but we do have quite a few of the older generation and from my experience the most dangerous drivers fall in that group. I rarely get buzzed or nearly hit by someone on their phone, its always a retirement age human not paying attention. Last night at the refuge I nearly got side...
