Unicycle treats
I just treated myself to elbow pads, reflective jacket and new cycling shorts. The cat eye wireless sounds like a good idea.

Define "waste".

Garmin edge 500. or any other GPS cycle computer
HID headlamps and some really bright tail lights. In fact get 2 sets for the front and 2 sets for the back, 2 for the helmet and 2 on the uni. A new tyre, titanium spokes, coloured nipples, really light pedals, bottle holder, tracker. And get these: http://www.monkeylectric.com/ They looks soo cool. Watch the vid.

I know this may be a daft question but as i'm new to this you must forgive me....Why the break??
Surely the fixed crank works as the breaks? Thanks, James. |

when you'r going down a hill you can use the brake instead of using back pressure to keep from going too fast
