    Nice video. I remembered 5 years ago me on zwift + strava + roller + road bike. This is my near feeling to cycling in London 🤣 Interesting headphones to maintain security in peloton when chilling in music.

      Thanks Roberto, I love travelling on Zwift and London it is a really cool ride, funnily enough my Zwift headphones are the Jaybird Vista 2s which I love but they are not as “Peleton” friendly 😂.

    I have but a few tech items for my exercises. Although my Note 8 is my everyday carry I use it for my Active 2 so I can sync my workouts in without a problem as well as calories burned, how many minutes I've exercise along with how many hours I stood up. Also have a pair of BT buds to listen while exercising as well. My other smartwatches I have is the IP5 which only tracks HR, calories, etc... and NorthTracker band which only tracks steps, calories, and time. Other than that I'm done.

      Hi Kenneth, thanks for sharing it sounds like a nice setup and very similar to what I used for years. The only more recent change has been wanting to track a lot more detail from my cycling data but to be honest your setup sounds perfect 👍. I am always sceptical about how accurate the calorie count on these things are, in that they are notoriously not accurate but I probably believe it more than I should 😂.

      @@AlexSamuels thanks. I have a question if you don't mind. I've been looking at the Apple Ecosystem of how an iPhone, an Apple Watch, an iPad, Airpods, an iMac, and an Apple Studio that work seemly together wrapped into one. Since I'm an Android user as you know I have the Note 8, Active 2, HP Elitebook G2, Surface Pro 2, and some Pods (since Android uses any BT earphones that is compatible with the devices). I want to know what kind of Ecosystem I have and how I should go about it?

      @@kennethjoseph9309 Kenneth I love the question, I'm in an interesting place because I'm in the apple echo system but I'm not. I have 2 macs and an iPad (actually 2 🙈). But, have 2 android phones and 3 garmin watches (although I only use the Epix 2 right now). For me the apple echo system works well because everything is in the same place particularly files on either of my macs or iPads.
      However, my personal echo system to get around not being totally apple is normally google or anything that is platform agnostic (everywhere). So, google drive is my file transfer app of choice (occasionally I have to use Dropbox, but that is really for the Kobo ereader). Google keep is an amazing short note taker that puts your notes everywhere instantly. Googles Docs is handy and great for collaboration and again accessible everywhere. Finally my to do list is TickTick and again it's accessible on all platforms.
      I don't know if that helps, but I think too much of it is made of the apple echo system, yes it works well but not that much better than the services I mentioned it's just about creating your own echo system that works for you 👍.

      @@AlexSamuels so basically I have to (pretty much) make windows and android work hand in hand to see which is what for sync across my devices?

      @@kennethjoseph9309 absolutely 👍, but that all the Apple ecosystem is, sync without thinking about it. Going back to TickTick, it's just everywhere, I can create a task on my phone and seconds later it's on my mac in your case PC. You can be in the middle of nowhere and access it remotely from the Web. When, you consider your day to day productivity apps the best apps for me have to be available on as many platforms as possible so you can change devices in the future and not change my setup.
      Actually, why apple have there ecosystem is to stop people leaving, that's why something that works on everything gives you freedom.
      An example is Remarkable, part of the reason I like it is my notes are available everywhere as they make good apps for most platforms.
      Again I hope that's helpful 😊

    Does this screen fence dont enter water? I have a Garmin Watch full mosaic by a fall in peloton, but continues dry inside after rains. I calculate 1kg in electronics, this drains 0,0001 km/h in your average speed 😂

      I was worried about about the crack originally but I have used it in sooooo much rain and it was cracked about 6 months ago maybe longer. Hammerhead want £179 to give me a new one and it works fine (apart from the crack) so I will just keep on using it. To be honest I could probably loose 5 or even 10 kg personally which would save me a lot more than 1kg in electronics and make me a lot faster up hills 🤔. On that note I better get some sleep as I have a 100km ride tomorrow 🙈. Keep well my friend 😊.

      @@robertomguimaraes I think it gave me the same 10 kg 😂, but food tastes nice and I will loose weight but cycling for quite a while means I can eat more nice tasting food instead of loosing weight 😋. I'm not complaining about that though 😊. To. Be honest though although cycling can be great for weight loss I just love the experience, hopefully you can get back into it.
