Black Friday Garmon and Wahoo GPS devices.

Just via a USB cable.

So far i've never needed to do so, managed 200km rides so far on a single charge with the Bolt.

How could you use it to charge your device whilst cycling e.g. When I mount my phone to my stem for navigation.

I’ve never charged on the move, I think @DCLane mentioned he uses a top tube bag to hold the power bank when riding those massive mile Audaxes.
I’ve always top up charged at lunch stops & cafe stops.

And place the battery bank in your Jersey pocket?

How far are you cycling at moment, hours and distance, and how many times a week ?

I have a really small one, like a tube that i intend to just velcro around my top tube. The trouble is my legs always run out before my Bolt's battery does so never actually used it yet

I keep my small power bank in either a small seat pack saddle bag or a waist pack (bum bag). Don’t really like things in jersey pockets.

Right now my cycling is on pause but used to cycle 5 times a week - 40km-60km on an average ride and then I had 100km+ ones planned but if I do get back to cycling planning to do another 100 miler one.

You'll easily do 100 miles on one charge on any of the current main contenders from Garmin and Wahoo.

Some additional sensors do increase battery drain though. Since adding a Varia i've noticed there is a small impact on battery life, but something i'm happy to trade.

I assume like most people the first think i do after a ride is charge up my cycling computer's battery, as well as lights i'f i've used them.

I also also like to fully discharge the battery every few months so it keeps it in good condition.

If you buy one, you have to use it so a great reason to push yourself out the door and on the bike. I used the excuse to meet my wife today in Bolton Le Sands on her round to get out on my SS... actually it was the promise of a fresher baked pie and flapjack

I could do with a pie.
