Anyone here doing anything BICYCLING related? Sort of. Yesterday I used my folding bike for a short ride. Turns out the Cateye wireless cyclometer didn't register any speed or distance. I'm hoping it's just that the sending unit's battery needs replaced. This has been a frequent irritation in cold weather. The 20" wheels and the tall stem make the distance from sender to display unit fairly large, but still within the supposed range, according to the manual. But for years I'd have problems with lost radio contact if the temperature dropped below 40 F. Last year or the year before, I decided it was because the handlebar itself blocked the signal to some degree. I fabricated a plastic mount to hold the display unit in front of the handlebar. It seemed to be working until yesterday's ride, which was right about freezing. I'll change the sender battery and see if it helps. But I'm at an age where I no longer enjoy riding much below 40 F. Today I'm fighting off a sore throat, which has been my usual punishment for a cold weather ride. :-( -- - Frank Krygowski |

Otherwise I'd miss about 1/2 of the year riding here. Batteries losing power when really cold is the main reason I'm staying with an external battery pack headlight on my bikes. Cheers |

I have given up on winter riding, which here means missing anywhere from 5-7 months of riding depending on the vagaries of weather from year to year. It's dangerous enough in the summer with motorized idiots who can't put their f*****g cell phones away to drive for ten minutes, put those idiots on ice and holy s**t. |
