@skyfaller asks:

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 thought I could be clever with a Zello account, a handlebar Bluetooth push-to-talk button (Pryme BT-PTT-ZU), bone conduction headphones to maintain peripheral awareness (Shokz), and a motorcycle throat mic (iAsus GP3-R) to take wind noise out of the picture.

It works perfectly.

Absolutely no other human on earth can be convinced to rig up / wear this setup so it is useless.
