I have trouble reading my Garmin 830 with my sunglasses on so I just
bought a 1030 which had a bigger display.
 
It only cost me $250 which underscores the point of Flunky using virtual
rides to claim rediculous distances and speeds which no one his age could possibly do.
 
I've already shown that I ride the averages shown in all of the bicycle
statistical sites. So if Flunky really thinks that he does these
distances and speeds all he has to do it buy a Garmin 530 which are
easily available and PROVE it with his own Garmin data?
 
This is underscoring the fact that I am not arguing that he rides or
perhaps he is even more advanced than I am. But he tells everyone that I
am slow when I am normal and he tells everyone that he is rediculously
fast when he couldn't possibly be.
 
We have been having these arguments for years and now it is down to the
point of put up or shut up. Frank hardly rides at all and he is giving
advice? He may be the very picture of an older touring rider. I could
accept that. But his crap about helmets or road bikes must be tgaiken
very much for what it is worth - as an opinion from a slow careful rider.
 
Liebermann has now shown his advice to be worthless. What would cause him
to comment on my rides when he can hardly sit on a bike let alone ride? I
don't like to do him an injustice but he continues day after day!
 
So come on Flunky - break your bank and get a Garmin and prove to us that
you're riding 17 mph averages. Or 20 mph averages. Or 200 mile rides with
20 mph average speeds!
 

He has a Garmin just not an edge unit.

You are not covering yourself in glory with this!
