Transferring Files to Your Garmin
Not sure if you are aware, but Garmin highly recommends us to transfer files from RideWithGPS to our head unit via Garmin Connect. Less to go wrong and should not corrupt the Garmin as mine was. I had to delete my Courses and NewFile directories to fix it. You would need to save the course to your account first. I am not sure if you need to then download/pin the course on your phone too.
Follow the steps below to send a course from the Garmin Connect app on your phone to a compatible Garmin fitness device.
A shout-out to a Strictly mechanic.
New York's preeminent bike mechanic (don't ask me who) was able to make only a partial, and therefore not completely useable repair. CJ, at Strictly (Ft. Lee) fixed the problem. (It's not one you've ever had.) He fixed it completely. The bike can be ridden again just as the two wheeled gods intended. He fixed it in :30. That's thirty seconds. Maybe it's just that he had a tool I didn't have and master NYC mechanic didn't think to use.
Wrapping the tops of the handlebars.
First, wrap the tops only. Then, a full wrap from the ends up so there’s a double layer on the tops. But where to start, just above or just below the brake levers?

Prescription Cycling Shades?
Left my prescription cycling goggles on the Rockaway Ferry (grrr!), and no luck with their Lost & Found. So - would appreciate any advice re an optical shop that has some experience/expertise in making prescription cycling glasses. Thanks.

Wheel size, distance & effort
If I have a certain gear combination, say 42-11, will a crank rotation with a 700c wheel take me farther than a (smaller) 26" wheel? At the same time, does it take more energy to turn the crank one rotation for the larger wheel? Put another way, is a larger wheel effectively a higher gear, smaller wheel, lower gear?
