After waiting to get this computer I was pleased after my first ride. The setup was easy with a little of confusion over the instruction's details on where to align the magnet in relation to the sensor. Once mounted, easy programing, and worked great on the ride. Easy to read screen and also very easy to scroll through the different functions. Temperature is probably not needed, but I enjoy the function.

Bell Motivator Mag Indoor Bicycle Trainer Decide Now
Works well, and no assembly required, just a bit confusing when you first set it up. As others have said, it is quite loud if you're using nubby tires.

Giro Indicator Sport Bike Helmet This instant
Been using for a few weeks. Very well built, lots of attention to details. Straps under your chin should have some kind of support/padding to make it more comfortable: the nylon strap is constantly touching your chin/neck region (under your mouth) which can hurt if used for several hours. Extra adhesive padding patches provided should have a stronger adhesive tape attached to it, since it falls easily after being glued to the inside of the helmet to provide a better fit.

Discount Topeak Modula Cage Waterbottle Cage
This is a flawless water bottle cage. Installation is simple, and the cage performs very well. It adjusts to hold everything from a standard water bottle to a 32oz Nalgene bottle (I've done this several times) to a plastic water bottle from the likes of Aquafina. Highly recommended.

I really like that it has the 4 lines display that are easy to read. The four stars is just because the temperature can be iffy but I don't really care about the temperature that much so this is exactly what I need. It starts right up as soon as I start pedaling after I take a break.

Order Serfas TCPG Bicycle Floor Pump
This is a great pump! Soundly constructed so it looks like it will last. Gauge is completely adequate for getting the tire pressure right. Simple valve works very well on Schrader valves (haven't tried on a Presta). My 13 yr old girl has a little trouble operating the valve lever but she manages pretty well using the pump on her own. Highly recommended and would buy again. Very good value for the price.

Buying Third Eye Foam Helmet Mount Bicycle Mirror
Consistent with other reviews, I found that the Velcro attachment method resulted in direct contact pressure of the mounting bracket with my head. Not good. Furthermore, the Velcro is so stiff that it is nearly impossible to separate without ripping the pad off the helmet. This makes the Velcro attachment method pretty much useless.
Taking a cue from the other reviewers, I removed the Velcro pad from the mounting bracket, cleaned it and the helmet well, then proceeded to use hot glue to mount the mirror. This, my friends, works great and is quite secure.
It took me a few rides to get used to the mirror; I used to use a bar-end mirror on my road bike. But once I got used to it, it works quite well. This mirror allows me to keep my eyes on the road. It also allows me to view behind me even when I'm standing on the pedals, hammering up hills.

Where To Buy Cateye TL-LD150 LED Bicycle Tail and Safety Light (White)
I got the 3-LED version of this light, and love it. In researching bike lights, I came across the seeing / being seen distinction, something a lot of riders seem unaware of. Flashlight / headlight units aren't very attention-grabbing, and when driving the car, I have noticed how easy they are not to notice. Since I ride in a well-lighted city, I don't need a headlight, but I do need to be seen and noticed. And if I did need a headlight, I'd have two lights, one to see, and another to be seen, since the two functions are quite distinct.
~ Another thing I noticed from driving: a light that has separate elements blinking non-simultaneously is a lot more noticeable than a single blinking light or a multi-light blinking as a unit, which could be mistaken for a steady light coming into and going out of view (many of the lights in a busy street come into and go out of view as cars maneuver around one another). Lights blinking "against" one another provide a kind of visual reference for one another that distinguishes them from the common flow of moving lights.
~ These white, separately-blinking lights are a major step up in front noticeability from the usual headlight units, whether the latter blink or not. If you need a light to illuminate your way, get a light suited to that purpose. (Planet Bike's 1-watt Blaze is a very cost-effective one.) But for being seen from the front, the white Cateye TL-LD150 or TL-LD130 (5 and 3 LEDs, respectively) are the best available candidates.
~ Sorry for the length, but I feel that the details are necesary to make the case for these lights. A headlight is not a substitute for one of these.

Best Prices Topeak Modula Cage Waterbottle Cage
I bought two of these cages and they are easily installed in less than five minutes. They are really light, but also seem very sturdy. They are adjustable (with a screw located at the bottom) so you can fit many different bottle sizes. I easily put a 20 oz. bottle in, but I read you can put one up to 24 oz. The only drawback is that they don't come with mounting hardware. Luckily my bike already had them, but if you don't I would suggest ordering the hardware at the same time. For what you get you can't beat the price.

New Cateye CC-RD100 Strada 8-Function Bicycle Computer
As an avid commuter cyclist I put on 4000km/year in all kinds of weather. I've used several computers but this is my favourite so far. The feature I like best is that you operate it without buttons--just press the face to switch between modes. The toolless mounting is also very handy. But what drove me to write this review is the experience I had today. Biking in the dark at -10C I took a spill in a snowy patch on the road. I didn't notice until I got to work that my Strada was missing. But on the way home I found it, face down in the middle of the snowy icy road with car tire tracks right over it. Picked it up, wiped off the snow, and it's working as good as new.
My only beef with it is that the plastic handlebar mount can become brittle in the cold and break. In fact that's likely why it fell off in the first place, as the mount had broken the previous week and was holding it loosely. I wish the mount was made of metal, but as far as I can see every computer on the market uses plastic mounts.

Cheapest Bell PRO-GEL Cycling Gloves
I go for a bike ride pretty much every day after work, and earlier this summer I had a bit of a scare when my sweaty hand (after a long ride) slipped off my handle and I almost wiped out big time. I decided to buy some cycling gloves so that this doesn't happen again, and I really wish I had purchased a pair sooner. These gloves are comfortable, well made, and have significant padding in all of the right spots. I use them for every ride I go on now, and I've ordered a pair for my fiancee. Highly recommended!

Catalog CycleOps Mag Indoor Bicycle Trainer
When I found out this trainer was made by Saris- the same company who made my bike rack I was sold. The quality of there products is great IMO and the lifetime warranty can't be beat. I did have some problems understanding some of the set up instructions but a quick call to there customer service department ( the number is at the bottom on the last page) had me up and running- so I did not take off points for this.
VERY happy to find out that I can adjust the resistance which my bicycle gears- which I was unaware of! The trainer does make a humming noise which is not bad at all even with my hybrid tires. I can still hear the television- but I do plan to purchase some slick tires since I plan to ride on this trainer all winter.

This is a great light in almost all ways. Super-bright main LED, attention grabbing alternating secondary LEDs.
But its mounting system sux. The Bike Industry seems to have abandoned the old universal style of mounting bracket (I see this on other lights, and racks, too), and seem to be designing lights to be mounted to either the seat post or the chainstay... neither of which work if you have a seat bag and racks with panniers.
What would have been 5-stars for a nifty little light gets only 3.

For somebody who will ride their bike everyday (especially on trails) and need a dependable bottle cage, look somewhere else.

Where To Buy CycleOps Stackable Climbing Block for Indoor Bicycle Trainers
This is simply a stabilizer block for the front wheel when using the bike as a trainer. It keeps the front wheel from twisting around, elevates it to make it level with the rear wheel and provides a stable stand for it. There are several different wheel grooves, for different elevations. The curved wheel grooves match the contour of the wheel and help keep the bike from putting forward/backward pressure on the trainer, possibly making it creep during the workout. Not much else to it. I am very glad that I included it in my order for the CycleOps trainer since I didn't want to nail a bunch of boards together to duplicate this.
