I use it for the ability to plot routes, which I find easy. They upload easily to my wahoo. Accurate distance and climb shown.
I know there alternatives, and that's a 'whatever suits you'd
A pound a week is well under a litre of petrol

Thanks for all the updates.....the waterfront route looks promising!

The simple answer is...no
The A63 runs through Hull and is the route close to, and parallel to the waterfront. Its a definite no from about 5 miles out. There are so full on reconstruction and roadworks right along this route.

Getting across Hull on a bike is awful at the moment.
There is, of course, the trans pennine trail option...route 65...which isn't bad and is usually signposted (!)

The only other option unless you're a local is to use the train

There's nothing I can say that is going to help much. I feel so sorry for you....I cannot imagine the depth of your grief.
Don't be alone. There are so many people will give you time and just be with you.

Mine needs a protracted warm up period where I live (up to 30 mins) or the altitude, ascent and descent readings are very confused. Riding at an altitude of -78 feet is intriguing. A circular ride with ascent 670 ft and descent of 950 ft is is an indication of the problem.
I think it's because the gps here in the boondocks takes ages to get sorted.....although grey distance is always right and strave is faultless.

Perhaps there's a real Wahoo geek on here....

'Bike on the right
And then alert for the 30% who can't work out which side is 'right'

I lived at Ballindalloch for 12 years. The road section from Cromdale northwards past Ballindalloch and on to Craigellachie is beautiful, foested Road, alongside the Spey. It is far superior to the railway track options.

The East Side is great. I'm not going to suggest a route because there are so many options.
But....York is not a problem (my nearest city)
Many good cycle routes through and around.
Once you get beyond York, the A1 lurks and avoiding that will cause much pleasure!

The Humber bridge to Beverley will bring you through the very nice Lincolnshire wolds, to the very nice Yorkshire wolds. The lumpy bit is just north...the North York Moors. Some classic, beautiful riding...enjoy the climbs.

Back in the day, I rode from the Doncaster to Inverness up the Eastern roads.
In the days when Sustrans thought the taking the Northumbrian beaches with panniers would constitute a nice route. Surely they've changed that!

Apparently there are penalties. Don't bother appealing....they always win

Well if we're not talking just cycling stuff, how about toasters that don't fit bread (or vice versa).
Superglue that doesn't stick owt.
Any of the loads if other single function devices that ...don't

Back in day, I was working very close to Scunthorpe.
The LEA computers kept blocking the town name

It's not working for me.
I keep googling 'tractors' but all I get is....tractors

There's no easy answer to this.
My ride is a D30 and I love it. Today, for instance, it's gusting 30mph across the Yorkshire flatlands, and there's no leaves on the hedges. Pootled around with the motor on lowest setting. Only got above 25kmh for the 'wind behind' stretches. Felt relaxed. And that's what ebikes are about. They take some of the pain away.
So, my normal routes range from 25miles to 80 miles. I've not run out of battery yet. There are loads of miles where the battery is off because my speed is >16 mph . There's no battery drag with battery off. There is a weight, hence speed penalty. 14kg versus my other bike at 11kg
Can you keep up with pure roadies? Nope.
They're using a lot less energy on a 10kg roadie than you are on a 14kg Gain.
Can you chase them up the hills? Oh yes...an extra 300watts or so helps! Tee hee
Will you run out if battery? Simply depends on how often you turn the electricity on, and for how long.

Thickish wettish mist. No wind but 1° and feeling bitter. Same as yesterday. Needs some solid rain to wash the muddy slime off the roads. Awful for cycling this week.

I like the new bit that tells me that lorries and cars on main roads will give way to pedestrians who wish to cross.
I'm about to give it a go on the A64 just outside my local.

I may be gone for some time ........
