General Discussion / best sleeping bag for bike packing?

« on: November 28, 2016, 06:18:11 am »

Hi,

I am looking for a lightweight sleeping bag for bike packing. I can probably spend a maximum of $200 (might be able to stretch budget) I don't mind whether it is down or synthetic but it needs to have a comfort limit of around -5. I have looked at the alpkit bags but they are not in stock and by the sounds of it wont be for the next 6 months. also the smaller the pack size the better. what would you recommend?

General Discussion / One piece earphone while riding

Hi guys!

Anybody use an iPod or any other mp3 players while on the road? I personally believe that listening to music helps during my workout.

Though I haven't tried cycling on the road while using my iPod, would it be dangerous to wear headphones or earphones while riding as you will not hear traffic or cars approaching? But how about if i just use 1 ear piece instead of 2?? I was just curious if anybody else do this.

Thanks for the tips in advance!
