It would be nice if they did a software update to address this. My garmin shows different colors, orange, red and green. It would be nice orange for approaching, red for collision or close pass, green for clear. Not sure if they could do that or not.

I really dig the bontrager blender system. I picked up another bontrager stem yesterday for the ritchey. I’m starting to become a vain cyclist I guess. I can’t stand having mounts on my handle bars. It looks awful.
The blender system just makes everything look pretty.

Speaking of stems, on yesterday's ride I noticed a fellow rider's stem was awfully big and boxy and angular. I wondered if it had a trap door and could double as a bento box. I did not catch the brand/model.

On my MTB, I don't like the idea of the mount being ahead of the bars, and more exposed to impact. This mount is a spacer under the stem cap that puts the computer over the stem.

With World Champs coming up, the feeds are filled with rad bike checks. I like how Hanna Otto's featured used cranks and cassette (probably lighter that way 
)

I also like the downtube storage. If that bent guy sees me walking, I'll be the subject of his ridicule even though I have all the usual survival gear. Like having no bag.

Nor am I a fan of the "stanced" and "bagged" looks at all.
