@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. Just my voice. Never been on a ride that was fast enough to need talking to others over a distance that wind noise blocked voices.

I've definitely been in wind so strong that I couldn't hear and could barely keep the bike moving. In these conditions, riders can get strung out and it's important to have a plan.

I used to commute with my daughter, dropped her off at daycare. There were some wild rains, but we always made it ok, and she was dry. She's grown now and does not remember. She does remember eating goldfish crackers out of my jersey pockets on good days.
