Light the Way

Gadget Seven

Cycliq Fly 12

This trusty old workhorse has been replaced with the Cycliq Fly 12 Sport, but I'm still running this old model. It's a front headlight, as well as video camera with crash detection, and Strava overlays. USB and Bluetooth connectivity.

At One With My Ride

Gadget Six

Speedplay Pedals

I purchased these before Wahoo bought out Speedplay a while ago, so they look a bit different. Clip in either side, and still with some movement available, easier on my old knees. Not many people use these, you see more of the SPD format.

The Alarm and Finder is an Apple Find My compatible locater in combination with a fingerprint enabled alarm. I have it screwed to the bottom of the Mount. My iPhone 13 Pro has a Quad Lock phone case that clips in.
