Q3. What communications systems do people use for talking with other bicyclists while riding?

We used these Bluetooth helmet "radios" by Sena, and they were extremely helpful on long rides where we couldn't bike side by side, such as when we moved house by bike. But these were mediocre helmets, if either the Bluetooth or helmet dies you must replace both, and annoyingly you had to pair the helmets every time.

@ascentale @skyfaller @bikenite A3: I've tried these dirt-cheap Midland handheld FRS radios, and they had real value to it. They hardly cost anything, either - before tariffs, they were like $30 for three and still actually good. It's $45 last I checked, which is still $15 a radio.

With very slightly more, you could get ones that take headsets, and I think those would be just about perfect.
