Re: [RBW] Bike computer

I have a Rokform case for my iPhone 6. I'm pretty happy with it; it protects my phone from small drops, and it has a metal back so it keeps the phone from bending when I

Re: [RBW] Bike computer

Thanks, Bill and Patrick. That's what I thought... I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything. Bill, I also thought of needing an app called I-breadcrumbs, more for getting back out of a hiking trail--you know how they can branch off. Roberta On Monday, June 12, 2017 at 6:42:14 PM UTC-4,

Re: [RBW] Bike computer

Roberta, I use paper map and compass, with iPhone as back up in the event I have no idea where I am. The basics of navigation are far simpler than "remember the exact route I took to get here, wherever here is." If I know where I want to go, and I can figure out where I am, how do I connect

Re: [RBW] Bike computer

Roberta I don't know if any of the apps spit out a reverse cue sheet based on where you rode or give you turn by turn directions to take you home after you've rambled yourself lost. I would name the app "i-breadcrumbs". When I stop to look at the screen to find my way, I'm using the screen

Re: [RBW] Bike computer

Does either Strava or Cyclometer or any of the others reverse your trip with verbal or turn by turn "written" directions--perhaps I missed it? Right now, I only go exactly where I know I can backtrack, so I don't get lost. Or, do you use Google Maps or Waze for directions? Road directions,

Re: [RBW] Bike computer

I dislike everything I've used to attach a phone to my handlebars and don't bother anymore. I either carry it in a bag or pocked with Strava running and ignore it like others have mentioned, or I'll use my Wahoo Elemnt. That said, of the phone-on-bars things I've tried, I disliked this one the

Re: [RBW] Bike computer

Most of the time I stash it in a stem sack/bartender. I just want to know what else is out there. -J On Jun 12, 2017, 2:57 PM -0700, Bill Lindsay , wrote: > iPhone mounted to my handlebars?  yuck!  I toss it in my handlebar bag, or > wrap it in a bandanna in a jersey

Re: [RBW] Bike computer

iPhone mounted to my handlebars? yuck! I toss it in my handlebar bag, or wrap it in a bandanna in a jersey pocket. That way there's nothing dumb to distract me on my bars, so I can enjoy the ride, and then I can check my mileage when I get home. If I get lost and need the GPS for

Cyclemeter; the free version. I've tried others including Strava, but find Cyclemeter the best compromise of easy and comprehensive. On Fri, Jun 9, 2017 at 11:55 AM, Broccoli Cog wrote: > What do you use for a bike computer if anything at all? In my past cycling > life I

Re: [RBW] Bike computer

I have one on each bike. This winter I had a recurring cold that did not let up and was happy to be prompted by these devices to ride more, even not feeling up to it. I track monthly mileage and saw I still rode less those 10+ weeks. And my M6 VDO has a feature likely available elsewhere,

Re: [RBW] Bike computer

Good tip on the Element. Navigation tools are useful to me. I have tried using my iPhone and never really could figure out the RidewithGPS app. I too worry about battery drain. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

Re: [RBW] Bike computer

The only thing I really like using a bike computer for is finding and following new routes without stopping to check the way. The Wahoo Elemnt is really, really great for that. It syncs with RideWithGPS and other sites via either your phone or wifi and displays a map on a nice black and white

Re: [RBW] Bike computer

I have a pair of devices on my AHH. https://www.flickr.com/photos/timbutterfield/29444653562/in/album-72157672136967320/ These are a Garmin Edge 820 and an iPhone 5S running the Wahoo Fitness app (on a Quad Lock mount). Both ANT+ and BT are fed simultaneously by the Wahoo Fitness Blue SC sensor
