Thank you.

I really want a 705, thanks for the review.
Oh yeah, congrats on the 100th episode. keep up the great work.
Just recently discovered your podcast — impressive! I like it! Congrats on 100!
About the LA ER doc case — yep, you hit it; he violated his oath, and needs to be hit hard for that. A lot of people on forums talk about the incident, and no one has touched on that!

Hey David,
I have been waiting soo long for the 705 review. But there is one thing that I feel you mis-represented. You talked about convergence and how the 705 keeps your handlebar from being cluttered up but don’t you have to have your powermeter on the handlebar as well in order to get the power readings sent to the 705. I am pretty sure this is the case with the ibike. What about the others? And will the Polar ever be ANT sport compatible? I am also looking into grabbing a used 305 because I need a new speedo to replace my 9 or 10 year old Sigma, and I want something that will measure fitness on the bike and also something I can pop on my commuter bike(s). I have an SS and a Cyclocross I’m building for commuting and possibly ‘cross racing. But after your review I’m not sure it’s even worth it. I live in Maine and would like the 305 to map trails and keep my heart rate. With the heavy foliage up here would I just be better off with a 605 and a Polar CS600? It seems more economical that way?
Thanks and congrats on the 100th episode.
Do something about cyclocross, it’s becoming more and more popular
