Summers here in New Delhi have gone to the extreme. There's not been a day in the last 15ish weeks when the temperatures haven't reached at least 40°C. And given that I'm training for some ultra-endurance epics, I end up drinking 10L of liquids. An Edge 1040 Solar will live the life it's been promised if it comes to India. Long distances, strong heat, navigation in crazy traffic; it will excel here. And obviously, the coolness factor will help me save some 10W. And I shall sing-- Here comes the sun ding ding ding ding
Here comes the sun and I say
It's alright.
For me, this device would be a GAME CHANGER. I have Type 1 Diabetes, If I am not constantly keeping track of my blood sugar levels, my blood sugar has the chance to go very low or even high, which can cause severe complications in health, especially while riding a bicycle at high speeds. This Garmin has the ability to connect to my Dexcom continuous glucose monitor, which will tell the Garmin what my blood sugar is at any given moment. This piece of technology would allow me to be able to keep an eye on my blood sugar levels just by looking down at the screen while riding. This will help me know when I need to eat more sugar/carbs or when I need to give myself more Insulin. At the moment, I either have to deal with getting off my bike and looking at my phone to see what my glucose levels are at or I end up feeling really bad out of nowhere on my bike and needing to stop my ride and eat food and wait until my glucose levels come back to normal. This is also a pain when riding with groups as they will normally end up having to wait for me to get my body back to being ready to ride. Also when my levels go out of wack, I become a bit delirious and foggy brained, which is not good when riding a bicycle fast or when you are trying to navigate from point A to point B, this device will help me by adding a nice large screen with a highly detailed map to help me get where ever I might need, especially in a state of delusion. This device will allow me to Safely ride with more confidence on my journeys since I will always be informed and I can stay on top of my diabetes with greater ease than ever before. I've been loving the information and entertainment you provide on your channel as I learn more and more about bikepacking, which is something I really want to get into, But for now, I'll Gravel/MTB riding.
I'm not gonna even comment now, this guy clearly would get more out of it than me so would be a worthy winner.
I agree. This person could use it more than me.
👆
This dude *needs* this Garmin!!
Same for me and due to the diabetes and my poor control of it I now only have 1 eye and no kidneys 🤣
I'm sorry for possibly being ignorant but why won't you mount your phone to the bike so you can easily see it? (I'm also wondering why the device exists at all if phones generally have better HW anyway)
I'm planning a ride to Jupiter next month, and since it's solar powered, it should be able to stay charged and continue to track my route even in space. Route tracking is crucial. Just incase I forget something up there and have to head back. Plus, the included silicone case would come in handy when riding through debris. Don't you think?
Hi Francis, I am an avid cyclist that spends most of my weekends on my bike and over the past few years I have been trying to convince my girlfriend at the time and now wife to start cycling with me as something we can do together, I finally achieved this great feat after emigrating to the UK from South Africa this year my wife has decided to start cycling with me and I would love for you or the person you assign this wonderfully difficult task, to award me with this brand new Garmin 1040 Solar as it will enable me to purchase the new Garmin Varia RCT715 (Garmin is life) that you featured not too long ago and keep her safe, I have the Garmin 530 but she unfortunately has the Edge 130 with a 2 hour battery life ☹, We love your content and the people you feature in your videos keep up the great work and peddle on.
I’ve got my first gravel bike coming in a few months after years of being in a industry that never allowed me the time to have a hobby. Can’t wait to hit the ground well cycling I guess. It’s so important to choose your own mental health days and I hope that all y’all get the chance to choose you and get there
Man this is so cool, really impressed how technology brings professional training every time a little bit closer to amateurs. I think such device is really substantial for aspiring bikers and price doesnt seems actually that bad when you think how many opportunities it gives
Ordered my first bike since I was a kid over lockdown, thanks to watching your epics across Vietnam & Australia. Currently my method of riding involves stopping at every corner and checking my phone so not the fastest. Aiming to do the coast2coast with my uncle later this summer and potentially some other "epics" in the near future. Would love to test out how good the solar panels are in the sunny NE of England. Thanks.
Hey 36 years old brand new to road cycling and absolutely loving the videos and the advice has been invaluable from the bike fit Tuesdays and I have family over in Australia so loved the bike packing tour!
So much a friend an I are planning one later in the year (Tynemouth - Edinburgh via all the castles on the coast).
I'm Newcastle based so would love to pop in an meet you guys in The Backyard Bike Shop get some tips/servicing and maybe pick up test/film some footage of the unit on our trip (fingers crossed)
I’m a newer avid cyclist only for 1.5 years now and this Garmin head unit will help me get better. Plus I’m Canadian and no one has one anything from Canada in a long time. 🇨🇦 😒🙏
Would love to give this to my mom as a gift. She's been going through a bit of a rough time and think this would make her smile.
I currently have an Edge 130, so I'm already in the ecosystem. But it holds me back massively on larger adventures because of battery life and navigation without maps. I think I could attack much bigger rides with a Garmin with over 40 hours of battery life. And I would be giving my "old" 130 away to ether my father or a friend of mine so it would be a massive upgrade for two people.
Would absolutely love to get that Garmin! I make Cycling content as well and I always record my Strava and control my GoPro on my phone! Tends to die quick, eager to get a head unit but money is tight as an independent filmmaker!
I currently use the Garmin 130 however, I can not navigate longer routes unfortunately with because the battery does not last so long :/. I want to go this summer the first time bikepacking and already have everything except a new headunit. I'm 17 years old, can unfortunately not afford a new one. I would be really happy if I would win
Thank you for the video.. My wife's birthday is coming up, she is new to cycling and currently training for a century ride. This would be an awesome gift.
I am a student who is finishing his studies. This summer I am planning with my partner to do our first bikepacking around Denmark. Today we only have our phones, the Garmin would be the ideal solution to plan this trip with peace of mind.
My dad has been biking for about 3 years and it has helped him lose about 75 pounds. He got me into riding earlier this year, it is a great way for us to catch up and spend time together now that i have moved out after college. I would love to give this to him since he has been riding for so long without any sort of head unit.
Hey Francis.
My wife surprised me with a Garmin Edge 1000 in December ‘15 for Xmas.
I shed a tear as it was a huge surprise, a huge cost and as a none cyclist she had spent time researching and finding the perfect present.
Fast forward to now and the device just doesn’t hold charge and is not usable for anything more than 90 mins.
I would like to win this as quite simply, as a dad of 2, it’s a luxury I’d not be able to afford but would love as my Edge 1000 supported my love of cycling, love of data and with the mapping element allowed me to be safe and explore roads and areas I wouldn’t have been able to before.
Francis (and somebody who’s not you but hopefully selects me) please make my day.
Last summer I bought my first ever bike and started cycling as I was thinking about quitting my previous job and starting new career and need some alone time outdoors. Recently, I moved to a different town and found a new job. Just yesterday my old running watch battery life was too short for recording the ride. It would be great to be able to record longer rides (for my standard, anyway). Love the videos! Thank you.
The Garmin Edge 1040 Solar is very impressive, USB-C and the ability to recharge while cycling thanks to a solar panel. Such a device would come in handy for me during longer bike rides with my friends. The person you choose will certainly be happy to receive such a gift. Cycling with my friends always gives me a lot of joy, even in difficult moments, when three years ago I was diagnosed with melanoma, I did not give up and thanks to cycling I did not fall into depression. After immunotherapy, I have side effects of secondary adrenal insufficiency and hypothyroidism, but I am alive and have to remember to take my medication before cycling.
Best regards to all cyclists.
Oh yes please! I am lucky enough to have got a Garmin Solar Instinct 2 for my birthday and would LOVE a new head unit to go with it. Would stop me getting lost when i got out on my adventures in the woods!
Thanks for all the great videos, helped keeps me sane, especially during covid!
I'll ride my self-built gravel bike from my hometown of Innsbruck to Vienna during August. It's not only my first time riding that many kilometers all alone but also my first time riding a custom diy bikebuild (steel mtb frame to cantilever 2x11 105 groupset). So having a reliable, long lasting companion in form of this new Garmin Edge with me would be absolutely perfect!!
We live in sunny South Africa and with all the load shedding (scheduled power cuts), charging our devices for the next ride sometimes does not complete before a ride. With all the sun we get here, this unit will help to always have the headunit ready for some fun.
Wow! Great head unit!
I need this for my epic bikepacking trip to Scotland! Solar extended battery life and better GPS coverage.
Fantastic!
honestly been going hard on a cycling career for a year and got hit by a car recently... this would be a lovely head unit for the new bike I now i ride!!!!!!!! thanks for all your content thought regardless, absolutely motivating and I just love how much you want to just hop on a bike!
I just got back from my first ever bike packing trip in Norman, France and am hooked. Planning my next one before my legs have even recovered and that Garmin would make those rides even more incredible
No Rules, Just Ride!
Just grabbed my first Attacus jersey the other day, super pumped about it! It’s coming all the way to Ontario, Canada. As a new-ish and definitely still learning cyclist - any new cycling toys are totally worth it. And while I’m not headed to Jupiter with all its available solar energy; I will be attempting my first 100 K this summer and would love to have this insanely awesome head unit! Cheers!
It's great things to have a head unit especially for the navigation system. I just cracked my phone screen because i was using my phone for navigation during my previous solo bikepacking and suddenly got called from my family. It is very convenient to use a different device to track my cycling data and navigation system during my cycling or bikepacking session.
Going on a bikepacking trip with my father this summer. He still needs a head unit to guide us around. This one would be perfect, not having to charge it every few days and not worry about the battery life! The trip would even become better
The bigger screen will allow for a clear indicator to highlight just how far behind every KOM I am! Great video as always, clear and to the point.
I’m lifeguard from Poland, every day I’m riding to work by bike and sometimes I need map because I work in many locations it would be helpful to ride on time and save people life on swimming areas, and after work it would be great tool to do some serious training, explore new destinations. It will help to become stronger and faster on every next ride.
I love this! My boyfriend is looking to get his first bike this summer and I feel like this would be super helpful to him since he is planning to bike all around our country. I would love to get him one of these!
An Ode to the 1040 Solar, by Matt.
Garmin, garmin, garmin, oh how charmin.
I really do wish that I had one on my bars man.
Out in the sun, absorbing those rays, charging up.. so it can go for days.
Unlike the rider, who spins his legs, and cannot carry on, without a tasty greggs.
A pleasure it would be, to win this device.
As I cannot justify paying full price!
Very cool piece of kit. Nothing would be better for my old man eyes than a nice big screen!
I live in Scotland and anybody who has ever been to Scotland know that it is sunny ALL the time, therefore a solar head unit would mean less charging( cost of living savings right there) and would be an ideal companion on my rides😂😂😂keep up the good work👍🚴♀️🏴
For me please, because I am turning 50 this year and just bought a Specialized Diverge Expert. 😊 All the best and may the force be with you
Oh man I’d love that new head unit. I did a 262km charity ride at the weekend raising money on behalf of one of our club riders who is currently undergoing Leukaemia treatment. It was a long day out but i think I’ve caught the long riding bug and my old Garmin needs charging every 2 hours or so so this one would make it so much easier. Keep up the good work Francis 🤙🏻
I'm pretty new to road cycling but I'm hooked on the challenge and sense of adventure you get from dragging yourself up some lonely hills in the middle of nowhere. About to invest in my first decent road bike and I'm stoked to head off on some new challenges.
I'd love a head unit as, since I don't have one, having to constantly stop and look for moss on the northerly side of trees in order to navigate my way back home is really impacting my average speed - and sure isn't it always the way, when you actually need a bit of moss to help guide you home, you can't find any. It's become a bit of a hazard too as once an angry farmer called Derek fired a shot at me because he thought I was a mischievous fox looking to eat all his chimkens, but I was simply looking for directions back to the A46. It's true what they say about farmers from Gortahork.
Would love a GPS please and thanks. Help make a little man's dream come true and his calves to grow majestic and powerful like our friend Francis Cade xo
Thanks for the opportunity…
Gives me an opportunity to experience a top spec garmin and at last a screen with maps I can actually see without glasses to get me home ❤
Doing my first bike race this Friday. 320 km pew pew! This would be the ultimate well-done-pat-on-the-back.
I live in Newburn so it would save you a fortune on postage. Always had Garmin edge devices but never been able to afford the top notch model. Watched your content since Project USA days, pleased you moved up here to showcase our outstanding cycling playground here in the North East.
Hi Francis!
First, many thanks for the quiality and informativity of you content!
Second, I would also like to have one of these nice new head units, because I simply do not have any head unit at all.
Have a nice day!
Having ridden and still riding my current bike for 13 years now, i ordered a new sleek orbea orca, expecting it in 2023 😀and this edge 1040 would fit it insanely nice in style and functionality, since i stepped up and ordered the bike with a long desired powermeter.
I am a huge fan of your channel. It's been my go-to ever since I got my road bike a couple of years ago. When I started cycling I promised myself I'd treat myself to something nice when I graduated uni, and yesterday I got my Architecture degree! It would be an amazing graduation present.
Finally a solar unit! Genius, been riding with Garmin for 4 years, would love the upgrade
I've been putting together my first road bike and soon to be first bike packing bike as well and this head unit would be so good for my bike packing trip of Vancouver Island I'm hoping to do this summer. Trained all winter while watching your bike packing videos for inspiration and I'm saving my pennies to get a tail fin rack. The Garmin 1040 solar would be such a nice upgrade to my setup.
I want the Garmin 1040 Solar because I just bought a Brompton, a first for me. Love it, and I am just getting back into bicycling. AND I am the VERY worst person in the entire world at directions. True, ask my wife, my kids and my friends! Great video, glad I chanced on it, thanks.
Sadly I lost a friend to cancer last week planning a charity ride from London to Mt Ventoux for him in the next year and need something with proper GPS and long battery! If I won I would donate the cost of the Garmin to his charity as I would probably have bought one anyway. Thanks mate!
Its thanks to you and a few others on here that I'm even considering the possiblity of going on my own back packing adventure, to the Netherlands, Germany and beyond. thankyou for you wealth of knowledge. The reason I would like it ( of I'm not too late to the party) is to combine my love of music and cycling. Getting to obscure music events in Europe using the power of my mighty legs. Good luck on your switz adventure!
About a half a year ago I smacked my pelvis into oblivion on the tarmac during a heavy cycling accident, and with it my Garmin Edge 830. I'm slowly recovering and back on the bike, but this new 1040 would certainly help me with my training 🙂
Francis, FRANcis, FRANCIS! …now that I have your attention …the head unit would make a lovely gift to stop my wife getting lost! Oh and keep the vids coming, they’re great!
Garmin devices have been essential to my exercise routines. I’ve been using the Forerunner 735xt for the past few years and, whilst it still works with its cracked screen, it records my metrics and I wouldn’t leave home on a ride without it. But it still does the job I want it to do. However, my mother, who got out for her first ride in 20+ years at the weekend, would benefit hugely from it. As you touched on, the simpler UI design is a fantastic update, but I think it would especially aid those new to using head units and who are maybe getting back out on the bike. The larger display and navigation would also (hopefully!) help with her sense of direction, but I think that would require some practice!
bought my first gravel in spring and have been researching head units but so far they are way over my budget. this would be an awesome improvement to my bike rides.
I love the video. This yeqr me and my mates we are going on a one month bike tour to morroco. Arroung 3000km of baking and one of those would do a great work when taking this trip. Good luck with your biking everybody :).
Hi, I have just started a summer plan to get in cycling shape and I usually end up lost in my rides due to not having a way of tracking them. I feel very inspired by your videos and I just wanted to tell you how much I have been enjoying your cycling to switzerland series. I have lived there when I was 2 so I can't wait to get back. It would be the dream to go back in my beloved bicycle. So I could really use garmin's help. :)
Over the moon to finally see a top notch solar feature in the headunits from Garmin!
I have some massive epics planned this year, some coast to coast challenges in a day and multiday epics, and it’s hard graft as an amateur getting hold of these premium pieces even without every Tom, Dick and Harry trying to get one! 1040 solar is a must for big adventurer Please pick me 🙏
I’m still using my Garmin Edge from 10 years ago! I’d love to upgrade it for my gravel and mtb rides, and would hopefully encourage me to do more bikepacking this summer!
I'm planning to go bikepacking next year and I will need a proper head unit. Currently I am riding with a Garmin Edge 530 which has not enough battery life for the rides I am going to do. The solar-panel-garmin is a perfect solution for my problem!
Thank you for the head unit! As money and gratitude are the 2 incentives to provide goods and services and purchase is not an option here the gift might appropriately go to the person with gratitude. Thank you again! I appreciate YOU, your service & your gift of the Garmin head unit to me 😜
As an aging physics teacher who now rides to work, I would love to win the head unit. I could collect data to use with my students. It would provide real-world data for calculation of distance/speed/time problems as well as power problems. Thank you, and Garmin, for giving away what appears to be an awesome piece of tech.
Well it’s been just over a month since I broke my femur coming off the bike. I’m meant to by riding across Australia with a team in September - 4200km. I’m not so sure I’ll be capable of doing that full route but I’m damn committed to doing as much as my body can handle once I can get on the bike. There’s plenty of sun to be had on those rides and a Garmin like this one would be a real treat for this ride and many more big epics I want to do.
Anywho, enough of the sob story. Always love the content Francis and thanks for being such an engaging creator and looking forward to more great vids to come!
Great tool, finally I would be able to not get lost again on my Lake District rides! 🖤
There are others that probably need this more than I do. I currently have a wahoo element bolt head unit and it works for me. However, I have started to do longer rides and have needed to charge the unit well riding so I am a big fan of the solar aspect of this unit. At the end of the day I want to become a better rider and from your review this unit will help me do that. If I do win this I will pay it forward and give my old unit to someone that needs one so they can enjoy it and so they can better enjoy riding bikes because that is what it is all about. Thanks for your passion for biking.
This looks great. New to road cycling after losing 40kg during lockdown. Now planning some bikepacking trips with friends and could use a reliable headunit which will last so I don't have to rely on my phone. Thanks for the content.
Getting back into riding after a 3 year hiatus. I want to be serious about training but I don't want to put a lot of effort into collecting and analyzing data to develop a training schedule. This unit appears to do that for you. Plus, I recently moved to Washington DC which has A LOT of great trails and the map would be very helpful. Thank you.
I need one of those because my usual rides are about 40hrs long and this is the only device that can cope 😎. Plus I live down under and will be able to give the device the full experience it deserves (lots of sun and great rides, unlike geographies with cloudy and rainy climate 😜)
This would make a great upgrade to my current unit. As i am the route planner for our group, so the clear large display would make it easy to stay on route and keep the boys happy and save me stopping to check maps on the phone.. Solar bonus
I'm new to road cycling and as you can appreciate the costs of getting everything needed to get started a garmin edge would definitely help!
Man I need that Garmin so much that I need that Garmin!! Now for real, need that garmin to guide me everywhere and everyday enjoying every minute seeing all the data in real time as accurate as Garmin can be
After getting into biking with a couple of second hand bikes in lockdown I recently purchased my first brand new bike in a long long time. Living in the Lake District means great rides but at times extrememly difficult navigation with regular stops to check my phone. I'd love a Garmin! Love the channel - you're literally the only RUclips channel I subscribe to!
Man who wouldn't want that unit :) I have been a long time commuter but have actively biking starting pandemic. Not hardcore like many but getting better. BTW missed meeting you all in SF when you made the North America trip! All the best for who ever is chosen 🙏 it'll be me
Nice, that you can give away one of these! I just started Road cycling this year and don’t have a Head unit yet, because it’s too expensive for me right now. I would be very honored if I could get my hands on one of these things. Keep up the nice work!
I'm building up my long rides over the summer here in the Pacific Northwest, so this would be an amazing device to have at my disposal.
I've been biking on and off for years, but never quite got into the point of real fitness. Until now. Having to shake off the COVID weight gains, and for a more appreciative wife, I've taken up cycling as a serious avenue to continued health and fitness goals. A head unit would be a great addition to achieving those goals.
The unit itself looks fantastic, such a tremendous battery life could bring about a concern of forgetting to ever charge the thing!
Thanks Francis. I’d love a Garmin head unit for my road bike. Thanks for the fantastic videos.
I'm really impressed by how the software uses your data and can help you improve.
It says the battery can charge up to maximum 42 minutes per hour, which is wildly impressive, but probably only possible on a rare sunny day 😅
I go on bike packing trips all summer and having a head unit (especially solar powered) would make my life so much easier. My last trip added an extra 20km of biking to my trip. Wouldn't have been an issue if there wasn't a ridiculous headwind the whole time.
Hello Francis, avid viewer from tropical Laos here. Just beginning road / gravel cycling again, after recovering from Covid and a 20plus years cycling break. A solar charging function will be great here, as we got lots of solar radiation and sunshine. I never subscribed to any channel yet. I will make yours the first. Ride safe and have fun!
About to undertake my first bike packing trip and this Garmin head unit would be the perfect companion. Love the vids!
So i have been biking a lot, and i did notice i need a head unit for longer ride, mostly for navigation. The phone does not cut it, cause of battery life and overheating. I have been working on my fitness, and I'm on my way to being under 100kgs. I found that Switzerland (where i live now) is perfect for working on my stamina, with all the uphill routes XD. Thank you for listening to my TED Talk
Just got into cycling when I came back from my deployment, during deployment we rode bikes and such so I found your channel when looking into cycling. I got a new road bike and would love a Garmin to go with it, have been riding around the trails in Maryland with my phone and it dies so quick! Anyway thank you for the videos!
Love Garmin products. My 820 is getting old. I enjoy your videos. Do miss the London locations. Thanks
I’ve recently got back on the road bike after 20 years off it and am loving it. Purchased a 530 and somehow managed to drop and smash the screen after only using it twice, 1040 would be a great upgrade! Silicone case might be the go this time!! 😂
Wow, that is so exciting. I would love one for the freedom of being able to cycle on long trips for days without worry about charging and therefore without worry about getting lost. During lockdown I dreamt of and planned long bike packing rides. This is something that would help convert those dreams into reality and into memories. At my age (turning 65) I need to get on and do this as soon as I can.
I'm currently preparing for my first ever bikepacking trip. I haven't yet sorted out how I'm going to navigate, so this would be an amazing boost to my preparations, and set me up for many more trips in the future. Thanks for all your videos, they're super helpful for a novice like me. 👍
I'm new at riding and currently riding with my phone, I would love to have the 1040 as my first head unit! Thanks for awesome content, always. Cheers!
Would love to upgrade to a touchscreen head unit. I’ve regretted not going touch screen from day 1!
Thanks for the great content. Keep it up!
Hi, Francis. Been a subscriber since the pandemic started. And I must say you're one the few great content creator that inspires people to ride bikes and have fun. I planned to buy a cycling comp last year but financial problem and other stuff came in to my life. So I just recently bought a basic head unit 'cos you know I can't afford buying one this(Garmin) masterpiece. My problem with my cycling comp I got is that the battery lifespan. It usually fails me when I'm having long rides. So winning one of this will be a great help and a dream come true. Cheers as always!
I've recently moved to sunny Italy and got a food delivery job. I'm now following instinct and audio directions. It would really come in handy, since the pay is very low.
Hey Francis, I get lost, plain & simple, I'm lost now as I write this so please spare me the Garmin 1040 and I can find my way home again.. #I❤ cycling ... keep up the fantastic work, I'll watch even more when I find my way home 👍
New Garmin unit looks great. I could use this as my Garmin fell off my bike last summer during a ride and was promptly run over and squashed!
After riding a very old road bike for the last couple of years I have finally bought me a new bike. The only thing is that I doesn't considered that the built in powermeter needs a proper bike computer to make any sense in training . So, this top of the notch bike computer would be a great addition to develop my training and form.
Going backpacking with some mates later in the summer and this would be ideal! Looks like a pretty substantial upgrade.
Been watching tons of RUclips videos about cycling, GCN and all. Recently moved to England and I'm just itching to go out on long bike rides. A decent head unit would be a great addition to my bike.
I just got my first road bike in years and would love a garmin! I don’t have a crazy story but thanks for your consideration.
16 Year old from Australia who loves road cycling but definitely struggling to afford certain accessories like a head unit and fancy kit. Bought a bike 2 years ago transitioned to road cleats recently which used all my savings but was definitely worth it and absolutely loving them.
Excellent piece of kit Garmin have engineered , never thought a tracking device this advanced would ever exist !
i would really help me track my KOM attempts 🤣🤣
i would like that Edge 1040 solar because it would be perfect for all my upcoming bikepacking rides!
Been a big fan of your stuff ever since I first got into cycling and a friend sent me your "quick bike wash video", and your videos (special shout-out to Bike Fit Tuesdays!) have really helped me find my groove.
Personally I'd love this state-of-the-art head unit is because a) Garmins are awesome and this is the top of the even that very high shelf and b) the economy of the country is crashing and it's gonna be near impossible to afford/justify buying this.
Keep the good content flowing and thanks for the opportunity to win a Garmin head unit.
Keep the great content coming. I'm uplifting my life and moving from Scotland to Canada on my bike. The 1040 Solar will help me fend off bears, moose and any other wildlife Canada throws at me plus it might help me get from A to B.
Just started riding and this is the only thing left on my wishlist! Would be very nice!
