Bike stands

My collection of bikes continues to grow and now they are just laying around in my garage. It is time to organize them. This rack seems to be a good one to stay in the garage and hold 2 bikes. And then this rack seems like a great one to throw in the car with me so I don't have to lean the bike against the car all the time.

Sport Headphones

I'd like to try listening to music while I do long rides on my own. I would also like to have my iPhone tell me when I should make a turn. The problem is being able to hear the phone when it is sitting in my jersey pocket. They now make headphones that allow you to hear the traffic noise around you. If they work then it would make long silent rides and missed turns a thing of the past. Here is one option. And here is another. There may be other alternatives out there, but these look like some of the better ones that are still somewhat reasonably priced.

Mophie Juice Pack Plus

Since I just got the new iPhone 5S. I need to get some accessories for it. The #1 item I need for it is an external battery case. The 5S has a decent battery life, but for some of the rides I do while using the GPS I need a bit more battery than what it comes with. I had a Mophie for my last phone and it was awesome so I would like to get one for this phone also. Here is the page describing the one I want (Black). You can usually find it cheaper on Amazon, but there has been a little bit of an issue of counterfeit Mophies there. If you decide to use the Amazon link just ensure that the seller has a good rating. If there is a problem, Amazon is excellent at dealing with those sorts of issues.

Wallet

My current wallet is on its last legs. It is a coach wallet that I have had for about 20 years. I would like another similar one. Once I find it I will put a link to it here. (I believe Janine is getting this for me)

Wahoo Speed and Cadence Sensor

Another product from Wahoo... How can I turn them down with a name like that? This is needed to totally replace my current bike computer. I constantly watch my instant speed (as opposed to GPS speed) and my cadence (how fast I'm spinning my legs) to give me information on whether I should shift. This all begins to get a bit expensive compared to my current computer set up, but it is a lot cheaper than going with some of the GPS based computer systems. It will also work a whole lot better than even the best of those systems.

Wahoo RFLKT

Besides the fact that it has a great name. This is something I have been waiting a long time for. It successfully combines the phone apps I use to record and analyze my bike rides with the computer that goes on my bike. It will also make it so I can control music from the computer when I do long solo rides.
