"Try Paul at Velo cycles, or Tony at Crino Cycles, both in Carlton, Nth Nicholson st ; both offered me help when I was setting up a mobile bicycle servicing business & both are reliable and honest."

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. See More

"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…"

"Just had a quick look then.  I'm now thinking of getting the cadence and speed adapter from Wahoo and neither Runkeeper Pro or Endomondo track this data.  Might have to swap over to mapmyride....."

"The drain on battery life is the killer and one I need to address pretty soon. Lots of people rave about the Garmin units especially the 800, and the data that is output by them."

"At the pace I go there isn't much risk but I do make sure that the road stays where it is and the bike upright."

"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."

"Just curious, but what sort of battery life do you get out of the iPhone when you use it with HRM and runkeeper?"

My bike computer

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
