Approaching lycra clad girly bottoms on bicycles will kill me one day as I rear end a sheep truck I didn't notice. God there could be a whole new thread on on what distracts us.

Maybe that's the barrier which I'm trying to investigate further into?

I've been riding for a while now. The questions are to get a general idea of the riding community. Everyone is different, and everyone rides for different reasons. This is what I wanted to know. Will technology ruin the riding experience or somehow enhance it.

Yes, and with a few bits you can blue tooth your phone music to it....
Its a nice bit of kit but really needs an external amp and better speakers.

problem is they usually have a fairly rudimental internal preamp, which gives you all sorts of arse when plugging out.

Adc nigga. Adc.

I have no smart phone or Bluetooth device on the bike, so no, you cant track me , and nor do I want your SOS device.

Can you plug it into an external amp? I already the amp and speakers, just need a turntable, but one that can copy straight to digital would be most excellent.

It's always surprised me just how far away you can tell it's a girls arse... kilometres in my case. I suspect I'm gifted.
