    Bell

    I use the freewheel and my voice most of the time. A simple "Coming by on your left" works pretty well. If that doesn't work out then their headphones are up too loud and wont hear me anyway.

    Garmin training/courses

    I like the courses feature to navigate in areas that I'm not typically in. Training is a different story though, I have other platforms for that.

    Ride to _______.

    I think it is a great initiative, especially for shopping. It's something I've been toying with. Everytime i need to run to kroger, get on the bike.

    Unnecessary Bike Gear

    If you're eating them then i think you're good. I would say eating around 200 calories an hour should be ideal if you're riding over 90 minutes.
