@Accy cyclist my bike cost nearly as much as that! Most I would pay for a pair of shoes like that which I class as formal work shoes is £40-£50 from next.

How much did you pay for them? They look really nice, very fashionable

I think i get a bit of a high off buying 'expensive(to me)items. I take photos of the item(s) on arrival...how weird is that!
Like i said in the previous post,i can toy with them (try them on and decide whether to keep or not) then send them back if i don't think they're worth it. All i have to do is 're-box' them then take a 5 minute walk to the Post Office. From £260 to £182 is a decent 'black Friday' bargain i'd say!

It's a state of the art bike GPS. And yes will enable me to go on many bike adventures.

I think after one ride its simply that because you are armed with that information you are not surprised. It seems nice early with the warnings which seem accurate giving you plenty of time to react (ie not react) even to the drivers which are going too fast (it highlights them red). The detection is far better than my ears anyway 😂 Its supposed to change flash intensity/ pattern as a car approaches. It seems to have got me noticed better on my ride today but you can never really know if it was the factor 🤔
Edit: I've also remembered another thing from today's ride. It seemed to have helped me relax when I knew there was nothing behind, hopefully making cycling more enjoyable.

Sometimes yes, sometimes it is the worst thing to do. I think that's been expanded by others below. I am still brain dead after my training session 😂

By a strange coincidence, I saw your post immediately after polishing my Loakes brogues, for which I paid £75 somewhere north of twenty years ago.
I still feel like a proper grown up every time I put them on.
