Finally got around to getting a photo of my cockpit. And a few other new photos, too. I swapped in a jones h-bar, and sold my choco-moose. I hope it's happy in its new home. The choco just wasn't quite wide enough for me when off-pavement. My current bar is too wide, if anything. I find myself

Eric, like you my headlights have migrated down to near tire height. Cyclometers have mostly gone away and I have not moved into the GPS world. My rides are now mostly number free (except an occasional timed climb up the local four mile hill) and I love it. My Jones bar bikes both have a bag

A brass duet IncrediBell . About the only one's I ring it "at" is the horses and cows I say hi too along my way. I have never been fond of things that tell me speed or distance on a bike. To "live in the moment" has weird implication, as if what, there is something else beside now ?

I switched to GPS computers a few years ago. I like having just one computer that goes from bike to bike without the need to calibrate for wheel size. Prior to GPS, I had a computer for each bike, so what you see on my bike is actually part of an overall “simpler” cycling lifestyle. GPS
