One legged is still better than no legged

So I decided I needed a faster bike than the big fat tire bikes for the packed limestone and paved trails. So I had been looking for awhile and finally saw what I really wanted...an aluminum frame, carbon forks and rear seat stay, flat handlebar with ergo grips, 700 x 25 wheels, good components, mt bike platform/clip in pedals. It had most everything I wanted. So I bought the Schwinn Ultra 2 on a Friday afternoon at Performance. That night I went out riding and the left crank fell off the bike 12 miles out! The pinch pin for the BB had separated itself from the rest of the bike. Fortunately, I was just doing 15 miles total on an out and back, so I only had 3 miles to get back to the truck.

I left the bike at Performance the next morning. They needed to order some parts for it. When parts hadn't come in by Tuesday afternoon, I talked them into borrowing the parts from another bike so I could ride. I put about 70 miles on it over the next few days and nothing else has fallen off, so I'm very happy with the bike.

I picked up a Garmin Edge 305 for it. I've only taken it on 1 ride so far, but that is definitely very cool. I did an out and back and it was within several feet accurate counting parking spots past my vehicle on the return. After the ride you can plug it into a computer and download the data. It plots your speed, altimeter, etc. it was cool to see I was hauling on the downhill on the way out, then slowed by about 4 mph on the way back. I have it set after that ride to autopause for time I sit at stop lights waiting. It doesn't record ALL fields is my only gripe. It just records the ones that its showing as far as I can tell. I'll need to play with it to see if I can get it to do more. Very cool thus far, though.
