This is the view I have often from my seat on the bike. Control central with the bike computer gives me the following information at the touch of a button: time of day, temperature, speed, average speed for the day, altitude, altitude gain, total altitude gain for the trip, percent of climb, and fastest speed for the day. The yellow tape adorns the aero-bars which I use to lower my torso by resting my arms/elbows on these bars. That allows me to increase my speed as I get "under the head winds that I create by traveling faster and/or that Mother Nature creates for us as occasional challenges! The silver tipped items on each side of the handle bars allow me to brake as needed (left is front and right is rear brake). Those brake handles also double as gear shifters with the left controlling three chain rings and the the right controlling 9 chain rings on the rear wheel. That gives me 27 "speeds." Oh, yes, that white stripe in the center is the official bike path for us, otherwise known to motorists as the side white line of a road!
