I saw them. It would be useful to have screen shots of the titles of those threads to show new members who complain about the current rules limiting new members to 5 posts a day and no pictures or ability to post links

Must not mind riding in jackets that are too long in front and too short in back, have sleeves that are too short, have no back pockets, have side pockets or front pockets or both that sag with any appreciable amount of stuff in them, let wind through or else become clammy, and are loose and floppy and thus function as parachutes.
Most of those objections apply primarily to people riding at training-level speeds, of course. For casual upright riding, utility riding, food delivery riding, etc., conventional jackets can work fine. I use my cycling jackets for training rides and my regular jackets for shopping rides.

I have a good phone mount that handles all sorts of bumps just fine. I use my phone for GPS and monitoring my speed and mileage in real time so it's very useful to me to have it where I can see it.

I Set off for a random ride today. I decided I may opt for a longer ride and keep going out.
So, I grabbed an empty plastic soda bottle and filled it with electrolyte water.
I then thought how people waste $40 on a water bottle. Not just bikers, but in general.
What are the biggest wastes of money in biking?

Bravo Rydabent. I can see the headlines now_--"Veteran cyclist takes break from yelling at clouds to champion drunken cycling."
