How about another Whiteladies
How about another Whiteladies Road incident in Bristol?
https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/man-arrested-after-car-crashes-7146014

(That dog wants to pee on the car to claim it)
A man has been arrested after a car crashed into a number of shopfronts on Whiteladies Road today (May 30). One witness said a car had driven into several shops along the road, taking out the stall outside of Better Food Co.
He also claimed that others in the area had tried to get the driver out of his car when he hit the A-Plan Insurance shop front but the man drove off once more. He also said that, shortly after, the driver crashed into the front of AMD Solicitors.

I’m puzzled by this one – could it be the start of self-driving cars targetting motorbikes?

So no Bluetooth and Shimano presumably have no intention of moving away from their proprietary protocol.It doesn’t affect me as a Garmin Edge user, but it bothers me that Shimano could one day see Garmin as a competitor (power meters) and switch the same functionality off.
Wahoo could be in the same boat now they’ve acquired Speedplay.
As I recall, you can get Di2 gear information over Bluetooth if you’ve got the extra Shimano Bluetooth adapter – I connected my Wahoo Bolt that way, but found it was a little bit slow updating the gear and instead went for the MT800 handlebar display (wired in).

That sucks. This is the kind of thing that bugs me about proprietary systems and the artificial problems caused by companies and their tech.
Does the Karoo just use ANT+ to talk with the Di2 system or can it use Bluetooth? (I use a Wahoo Bolt, so am not directly affected by this).

I can hardly wait
Still waiting….
I’ve got half a mind to go out and make a car crash into a building just so that I can be “Mr 1,000”
