Unfortunately I've had bad experiences recently with my LBS and I've decided to change.What stores do people recommend in the Abbotsford, Melbourne area? Or even further afield if the experience has been worth it.I would like to upgrade to a carbon frame bike, and my partner needs a new bike as well so we need a good quality, reliable, and honest store where we can spend our hard earned.

I start RunKeeper, then go to camera (for quick snaps) then turn everything else off."
Steve Jay replied to Damian Halloran's discussion My bike computer"iOS3 didn't multitask, iOS4 does on 3GS and higher. I'm running a 3G, my wife a 3GS, both with iOS4, so I can say with confidence that RunKeeper or any other tracker don't make 3GS or later iPhones "useless," you can run a…"

Damian Halloran replied to Damian Halloran's discussion My bike computer"I did the Marysville ride on Saturday and the phone lasted about 4 hours so that is a fairly big downside to all of this. I'll probably get another light battery."
DamianM replied to Damian Halloran's discussion My bike computer"I used my iPhone for a little while as a bike computer, but it annoyed me that it made all of its other features useless while it was being the bike computer.
I've since bought a Garmin Edge and love that, and my phone can be my…"

njptower replied to Damian Halloran's discussion My bike computer"Have you had a look at Endomondo - it has realtime uploading to the net with mapping, per kilometre times , it integrates with heart monitors via bluetooth"
Adrian Tritschler replied to Damian Halloran's discussion My bike computer"Just curious, but what sort of battery life do you get out of the iPhone when you use it with HRM and runkeeper?"

I must point out from the start that I am a nerd - telephony & computers are my business and I love great quality electronics gear. And I love bike riding so I recently completed a three month process of combining my two loves, and I reckon that I now have a fantastic bike computer. The first stop was an iPhone 4. After breaking the screen for the third time on my 3GS I decided to contract an iPhone 4. Yes I like Apples products, but the ease of use and reliability of this phone places it…See More
