Books
These are the two books I own that help me with reference to anything cycling related. I used Greg Lemond’s book when I first started cycling and still continue to use the book after nearly three decades of cycling. I have since replaced the paperback which got tattered over the years with a new hardback version, which is still relevant today.
Greg’s book is more personalized and gives accounts of his experiences in the peloton and how they enhanced his knowledge over the years.
Joe Friel’s ‘The Cyclist Training Bible” takes a slightly more technical approach which helps with more detail into training processes and procedures.
Either book would be a great choice for new and experienced cyclists with Greg’s book slightly being favored due to more personal experiences and better relatable experiences from the peloton.

REMOVU S1 3-Axis Rainproof Gimbal with Wireless Remote Control for GoPro HERO5/4/3+/3 Cameras
Contrary to what is in the product description, the remove only resists rain under warranty for up to 10minutes, hardly rain proof as advertised. other than that discrepancy the product is awesome. I use one battery for up to five hours with no issues, although not continuously. There are not rainproof gimbals, the ten minutes gives you a chance to seek shelter or over the removu if you want to use it in the rain.
