Picked up 2 pairs of Motorola T5422 PMR walkie talkies + leads at the Scottish Bike Show & tried them out for the first time on Sunday
Our club rides out every Sunday, 3 per month are a free ride as we call it with no rules A to B to C eat drink & onto D & so on.
As a rule our official club run at the end of each month which are intended to bring on some slower riders or newbies in a safer & much more controlled way can some time prove a hand full with members blasting away. So as the run coordinator again, we thought we would give the radios a try.
4 riders linked by radio, me on lead 2 others mid pack & 1 tail-end charlie,
with only me knowing the route!! The deal is if you pass the lead bike we assume you are a mind reader & know what way I might turn next.
We thought this would go either way :yo: or
how would the faster guys feel? what do the slower riders think?
We found that we could keep the pack rolling without the constant slow down, speed up, stop wait, & only on the main open stretches did we get people go for a blast even some of the slower guys & girls felt more up for a bit of speed in the knowledge it would not descend into a out & out blast.
As for the Radios :bow: :bow: 10/10
