Fall 2009

Weather was looking nice so I decided to do a nice gentle ride with enough climbing to get over the fog line. Took my camera and got some great shots

iPhone Bike applications

Well, I'm slowly becoming an iPhone convert. If you have to carry it with you when you ride in order to have a phone (albeit a marginal phone), why not see if it can perform double duty.

To start with I downloaded a free version of the Dahon Biologic Bike Brain. I felt a bit like a traitor, being a big Bike Friday fan, but you've got to hand it to these guys. They really are on top of technology integration.

Since I have yet to buy a bike mount for my iPhone, I simply strapped some velcro thru the clip on my Otter defender; probably the geekiest cell phone holder you can wear. It definitely looks better on my bike than on my belt! In any case it seems to work, but long term I will probably buy one of the Dahon mounts and retire my Otter and get something a bit more professional looking for daily wear.
