Easy to install and use. High quality materials. The taillight works great. The headlight is mentioned as “a be-seen headlight” in the User’s Guide and I totally agree. It seems to be designed more to be seen than to see. I would only use it as my backup light, not as my primary light. Not bright enough to provide good visibility. For a reasonably priced LED headlight, I’d recommend Cateye HL-EL530 instead. Then you can use this set for your taillight and since the headlight can be set to blink, as a “be-seen headlight”.

The Garmin Forerunner is a great asset for both serious and recreational runners. It is very easy to use.

When I travel, it is great for helping me determine mileage and routes. One disappointment was the lack of a “back to start” feature. While it is listed in the manual, it isn’t a feature my 305 has.

It is hard to tell from the photo, but it is larger than a typical running watch, making it bigger than many women’s wrists. I use a terry cloth wrist band under the watch to keep it from slipping and rubbing, and it works great.
Motion Activated Bicycle Spoke

It is truely a great piece of equipment. Easy to use, easy to modify the screen to get the data you want to see as you are running and so easy to download to my computer. A real steal at the price.

I bought this because it is supposed to match my Delta rack. It looks really nice. In fact, I have received several compliments on this bag by other cyclists, most of which were strangers. Looks are the only good thing about this bag.

Not long after I bought and started using this, I realized that the zippers are terrible. They are diffuclt to use so opening/closing the bag is a pain. After about 4 months one of the zippers finally broke.

Another bad thing is the storage. There is the main compartment and a small one that houses the rain cover. I managed to put my cell phone in the small one but not much else can fit since it just holds the rain cover. I would like more storage options such as multiple compartments/pockets and stretching cords on the outside. At least it is expandable. I also wish it had a spot for a tail light.

This attaches to your rack via velcro on the bottom of the bag and clips on the front and back of the bag. It stays in place well. You will need to install velcro and clips (included) on your rack. It was easy for me but some racks will require hole drilling.

Taking your bag with you requires just a few steps. First you un-clip the bag from your rack and lift it off the velcro, then you get out the included carrying strap and attach it to the clips on the bag. It takes longer than you might think, mostly because if you have the strap in the bag it will get wrapped around whatever else you have in there (it is just one pocket for everything so stuff becomes tangled) and is difficult to retrieve. When I would ride with my friends, they would have their bags removed and ready much quicker than me. It was annoying. Since this bag is rather wide, it looks weird on a strap around your shoulder.

My last complaint is the price. Why is this bag so expensive? I bought it on sale from Amazon and it was still more expensive than many other bags which are far better. I wish I bought a nice backpack instead of this.

It’s hard to single out one flash memory card over others. They all do the same thing. All I can say is that this is a solid card and I’ve never had problems with it.

Like most people, I was required to read this book in the late 60s. I don’t have any recollection of being touched by it at all. I read it again in college, and either I thought it was all about disaffection and rejecting middle class values or I was told that by my teachers.

I glanced at it again over my daughter’s shoulder on a long plane ride a few years ago and couldn’t wait for her to finish so I could read it again. I was shocked to see that I had completely missed the point: it’s about Holden’s vertiginous fall into depression after the death of his little brother. His parents and his sister are all too damaged by their own grief to help him, and he’s struggling to feel something while avoiding feeling anything. These are familiar demons, beautifully evoked.
