According to the fictional account: Finland’s Piet Kvistik, a domestique with the Crédit Mondial team, was […]
FredCast listener Henry just returned from Paris and reports on the new rental bikes available around the City of Light.

All I can say is, ‘wow!’ These new Garmins have all the features I have been looking for in a handlebar mounted device: GPS (with the usual speed, distance, etc.), street-level mapping and directions, color screen, power (through a link with SRM units), cadence, heart […]
