Pretty smooth bro

 

universal arm band?

 

OK, that is cool...

 

minimalism .. gotta love it. Have a get up similar on my mountain bike

 

I'm going to have to try this... I'm currently biking 24 miles to work each way, and using "My Tracks" to track my stats. This would be a great way to get a feel for how I'm doing while I'm riding.

 

thats like 1400 miles a month, crazy!

 

Since I only work 5 days a week, it's more like 1050...

 

Thats still alot dude i would never ride my bike that many miles a month, Props to you man you must have legs of steel.

OP nice setup i like.

 

Getting that way. It's my way of trying to lose weight.

 

thinking the same thing. that and some BT headphones would be great

 

do you leave for work 4 hours early or something? lol

 

I would have to leave the night before....

 

Nicely done sheridan13! I have mine set up with an armband but I like your idea better. I have the same holster but never use it. This would be perfect.

Edit: I think I'll drill a hole in the back of holster for the speaker. I play music on it while I ride but don't like wearing headphones. It's actually loud enough to hear, even on rough trails.

 

That's pretty slick. Do you think there would be any negative effects from vibrations and uneven roads? I would be concerned about damage.

Good for you. I've lost 35 lbs in the last year (now 209 lbs) but my torture of choice is running. I do a 5k every month.

 

Yeah... me too.
I probably walk about 5k's a month. MAybe more sometimes

 

2 hours early. But I'm getting faster. I'm currently making the bike in about 1 hour 45 minutes. I'm hoping to make it in less than an hour when I really get in shape.

 

I hate running with a passion that I could not completely get across here... Although I was informed a few years ago that I have high arches which would make running difficult if not adjusted for... and that was AFTER four years in the Marines.

That being said, I've lost about 5 pounds so far, but I'm benched this week due to rain... BAH!

 

I tell you what I'm going to look for a holster now so that I can make one of these for my bike.

 

You guys should try out Run Keeper on the android market. It's free, and tracks a ton of different aspects of your run/bike and other modes of excercise. Best part is that it uploads your sessions to it's website for you to break down through charts, like for instance it shows how much elevation I biked, so I can see that my 5th mile was slower due to a lot of incline. Also if you're into facebook it will automatically post it on your page if you wish. Great application, makes great maps.

 

Wow that's great, I'm going to have to put together a set up like that on my Bike and give run keeper a try.

Is there an app that would work as a speedometor/odometor as well?

 

I like SportyPal - it gives you all the info you need and shows your rides on a map (online) where you can also see the speed you went during any particular point of the ride by mousing over that section. (very cool).

I tried Endomondo but it was very glitchy...it would show my top speed as 600 miles an hour sometimes.

Sportypal works for biking, running, etc...

I don't work for them or know anyone there I just like the app.
