Not sure that there's a definitive answer. I don't ride at night and almost all of my rides are on rural roads. Lots of drivers going fast on sometimes quiet roads.
I always ride with flashing lights front and rear. Rechargeable and bright.
I feel happier and that's a big thing as I'm sure that it 'wakes up' a few drivers each ride and that's just fine.
When I'm driving, I can see flashing lights well in advance (not round bends!) and have time to prepare.
Can't think of a reason not to use them

Apologies. Was having a bad hour

A whole minute. Wow!
Drive faster to make up that lost portion of your life.

Yup.....change my provider every year. During the last 8 years I have been with EDF, Scottish Power, British Gas, Avro and a couple of others.

My solar FIT is through EDF ..... they stay the same whatever supplier you use. You don't need to inform them or do anything else.

Written on a beautiful sunny day when my meter is ticking along!

Gain D30
Was it important that it was pretty?
Well yes, but that was not the only deciding factor.
Weighs in at around only 13kg and that means it's easily lifted on to the back of my van, and also that I can ride it with motor off....which I do over 50% of the time .... and still make good speeds.
Oh and I can get up those pesky hills despite 2 knee operations and a shoulder operation, and the ravages of old father time.
Oh...and the joy of overtaking my son ....proper cyclist and 35 yrs younger....while uphilling!

My Orbea Gain is very pretty.
There's only one ugliness...and he's riding it

Sorry for not posting earlier.
Found out (eventually) that there was a fatal error on my Mio (9 yrs old)
Blasted the bank and bought a Wahoo, which had no problem doing this process.
Thanks again to all for your help

A few years since we tried it. Nightmare. So much unlikeable we abandoned and caught the ferry

Brilliant. Thanks everyone. I'll play with that tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

OK...so I can get to cycle.travel
I can get to 'map'
I can invent a route from x to y (looks good, by the way)...but I don't want to do that today.

I have in my hand (!) a gpx file grabbed from 'lost lanes'
How do I upload it to cycle.travel

Sorry about this...normally I only cut bread and paste wallpaper. And eat chocolate

Err....Web app?

Pls forgive simples....
So I download and run cycle.travel
Download gpx file to cycle.travel
Mess about with it
Save as .gpx
Sync with Mio

Cycle.travel....that simple eh?
Thanks. Silly question....does dragging the start to where I want it mean that the old start/finish just blends into the route?

Just re reading those threads again....the Basecamp solution seems very simple!

Thanks for those prompt replies, and promising leads.
I have windows 10. I rarely design routes on my pc and have even more rarely followed turn by turn routes on my Mio. Battery anxiety!
If I'm planning it will usually be on strava. Then have a quick look at a road map and an OS map.
I have had bike computer issues in the past...the common one being refusal to acknowledge a short cut or a departure from.the planned route, and then I get stroppy!
Have followed the 'which program' threads on here with interest!
