Many cyclists, like myself, ride cross-over. Meaning, they ride road and mountain bikes. I enjoy riding both and began riding mountain bikes way back in the day. I’ve since shifted more of my riding time to road/urban rides and have come to enjoy riding road/urban rides more than MTB rides.
Do any of you ride cross-over now? Have any other riders out there experienced the same thing? What’s your preference since riding both?
Yesterday I installed a new cyclocompter on the Trek. I chose the Sigma BC 1606L from Sigma. The computer has more features than you may ever use, but they’re there and they’re even simpler to use.
Installation took me about 5 minutes and programming the computer took me a couple more, so all-in-all, it was a quick and painless process.
I mounted the computer on the stem and using it during the ride was a breeze. The computer was accurate on the paths I’ve measured before, so it’s a plus.
Bottom line, if you’re in need for a cyclocomputer, the Sigma BC1606 L should a consideration.
I love the cycling cap. They’ve always been a favorite of mine, especially in cooler weather, to wear under my helmet. I’m currently wearing the one below:
I’ve noticed however that I get a few strange looks, not that it bothers me, but I just wonder if it’s because folks aren’t used to seeing those in the US. European cyclists wear them as part of their gear for nearly every ride, but here in the US they seem to only be popular among the younger ‘indie’ riders.
Anyone have insights or care to share the cap they prefer to wear?
