2025's Top Tech Gadgets: A Personal Take
Another year, another round of tech gadgets that make life easier and more enjoyable. It's been a whirlwind of a year, with work, family, and a bit of cycling keeping me busy. My riding has taken a backseat, but that doesn't mean I've lost my enthusiasm for bikes and the adventures they offer, both physically and mentally.
Many of the products I've featured in previous years, both here and at CyclingTips, are still my go-to choices. This year, I've curated a list of items that have brought me joy, connection, or both. None of these are performance-focused, and that's perfectly fine because I'm not a competitive cyclist either.
Let's dive into what made my 2025 list special.
- Dynamo Light Setup
Parenthood has been a game-changer, bringing a new intensity to my life. It's like a bowling ball on a sheet, bending all other aspects of life around it. While I cherish this journey, it's undeniable that it's influenced my cycling habits. Lunch rides have transformed into short commutes, and social weekend rides have given way to solo night rides, sometimes with friends, sometimes alone.
These changes have led me to discover the importance of lighting. A dynamo light setup has become my trusted companion, ensuring I can ride safely and confidently, even in the dark. It's a small but significant addition to my cycling toolkit.
