Week in Review–December 29th, 2012
www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/12/week-in-reviewdecember-29th-2012.htmlNote that the bra seen below should actually work with not only the Polar stuff, but the Garmin stuff as well (you just swap out the transmitter pod).

Riding into a fashion shoot
www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/10/riding-into-fashion-shoot.htmlI think the Garmin Fenix review is going to be one of the most expansive reviews yet – likely taking on, if not surpassing the Garmin FR910XT review.
Paris-Roubaix 2016: A Day On The Route
www.dcrainmaker.com/2016/04/paris-roubaix-spectating.htmlMy favorite Garmin mounting job was below.
Lachlan Morton’s Tour de France Alt Tour: How the Tracking Device & Site Works

A Norwegian Runaround
www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/09/a-norwegian-runaround.htmlI was wearing both the Garmin Fenix and Polar RC3.

www.dcrainmaker.com/2008/09/one.htmlFor example, my review of the Garmin 305 still accounts for 30% of my daily hits on this blog, almost a year later.
Tip of the day: Avoid Doing The GPS Dance
www.dcrainmaker.com/2011/04/tip-of-day-avoid-doing-gps-dance.htmlThe challenge is that if I were to wait to turn on my Garmin GPS watch after I was finished with my bike, I’d be waiting around outside as it searches for satellites.
PowerTap’s new hubs, Bluetooth Smart Trainers, iPad apps, and more
www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/08/powertaps-bluetooth-trainers.htmlIn many ways this is inline with what Polar and Garmin have said as well.
Finally…a weekend at home: Pumpkins and Training
www.dcrainmaker.com/2010/10/finallya-weekend-at-home-pumpkins-and.htmlAs for those product photos, I was busy working on a post on the new Garmin Chirp in Endurance Sports, which will be published Tuesday.
Week in Review–February 11th, 2012
www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/02/week-in-reviewfebruary-11th-2012.htmlMost times these different streams don’t overlap, so be on the lookout at all these places for good stuff!

5 Random Things From The Past Week
www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/04/random-things-week.htmlThe unit features dual ANT+/BLE connectivity, but also does a form of running dynamics like the Garmin HRM-RUN with the Garmin FR620 & Fenix2.
Do you use an app with live tracking in it? Tell me about it!
www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/01/do-you-use-an-app-with-live-tracking-in-it-tell-me-about-it.htmlI quite often use the Garmin Fit app which has live tracking of both position, as well as ANT+ sensor data – including Power, Heart Rate, Speed and Cadence.
First Look: Zwift rolls out iOS version of platform
www.dcrainmaker.com/2016/08/zwift-ios-version.htmlEven if you use a Garmin head unit, this allows you to also use Zwift on iOS (whereas with a Garmin HR strap you’d be out of luck).
Pioneer Exits Power Meter Business as Shimano Buys Their Cycling Business
www.dcrainmaker.com/2020/02/pioneer-business-shimano.htmlThus it’s plausible that with enough engineering, a Shimano driven V2 of the CA600 could offer a real alternative to Garmin, Wahoo, and other bike computers.
A Kananaskis Mountain Bikearound
www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/09/a-kananaskis-mountain-bikearound.htmlSo in my case, I have the ANT+ edition which is broadcasting ANT+ to the Garmin Fenix watch.

Cycliq Fly6 In-Depth Review
www.dcrainmaker.com/2015/10/cycliq-fly6-review.htmlIt’s a bit of a circuitous route to get data onto the camera (versus something like the Garmin VIRB X/XE that just directly connects to the sensors).
5 Random Things I Did This Weekend in Rome
www.dcrainmaker.com/2016/02/random-things-weekend-rome.htmlNow as nice as it is to be wandering around Europe for a few weeks, the interwebs must still go on! So I took the majority of one of the days to knock out a bunch of posts, including both the Apple Review & Garmin Fenix3 HR review.
Hands on with the Shimano’s Di2 ANT+ SCIO shifting bike computer
www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/09/shimano-shifting-computer.htmlWhy on earth use private-ANT for this and then pump it to a useless less-refined device? Instead of going with ANT+ and allowing this data to be consumed by devices such as a Garmin Edge computer or similar, they went with a private implementation that leaves no data on the table for anyone to record.
