It seems that every time we get a strong wind, half of them get spun round part way.<br /><br />I only put a computer on Buddy last week. I got a good deal on one at the HH100.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-55785975390302591682009-09-09T13:30:11.899-05:002009-09-09T13:30:11.899-05:00For a long time, I thought traffic cycling was an ...For a long time, I thought traffic cycling was an adrenaline sport.<br /><br />Then I learned effective cycling.

It was all I could do to log my flight hours in an airplane... but you really have to, so I did. I don't even have a computer on my commuter bike.Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14617647529657485483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-68105306918468551752009-09-09T01:02:28.413-05:002009-09-09T01:02:28.413-05:00I used "TryParkingIt" a few times but th...I used "TryParkingIt" a few times but then I gave up sometime last year. I used DORBA's commie monitor for the rest of the time up until recently. Now, DORBA's commie monitor has been down for a few weeks. So, I have started reconsidering "TryParkingIt". <br /><br />But my Garmin stores all kinds of data which gets sucked into my cycle computer. So, as far as keeping track of miles, I have no worries. <br /><br />In the Garmin Training Center program, I have more than enough data to satisfy my analytical curiosities.<br /><br />Steve --- congrats on accumulating a great # of miles!<br /><br />Peace :)GreenComotionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272116464292908327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-15037448303487362652009-09-08T21:36:37.466-05:002009-09-08T21:36:37.466-05:00If you wanted to track stuff like that, I'd su...If you wanted to track stuff like that, I'd suggest you go to one of those other sites. People in London don't get "attaboys" from the USG, though it might be interesting to see if NCTCOG noticed.<br /><br />Myself, besides cooler graphs than Doohickie, I have an almost secret hope of scoring the $250 prize as "commuter of the year." Besides the free lunch, it'd reduce the miles before Buddy's paid off.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-88699598300529248162009-09-08T21:02:04.686-05:002009-09-08T21:02:04.686-05:00Call me uptight, but if I wanted to track stuff li...Call me uptight, but if I wanted to track stuff like that, those innacuracies would bug me so much that I wouldn't use it.

I work an extra hour Monday through Thursday, and at the end of two weeks I have an extra 8 hours so I don't have to work Friday. Some people work four 10-hour days. That's a compressed work week too.<br /><br />I use tryparkingit mostly because I use tryparkingit. I started with them, and they have a running record of all my commutes since I started riding to work (except for a short period of a week or two where I got lazy and forgot to put it in).<br /><br />Whether or not it sucks, it does provide a pretty decent record of my commutes.Doohickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088639153697449691noreply@blogger.com
