Garmin Edge Charging
I use a Garmin Edge 500 to record my ride activities and then on activity completion I upload via USB plug-in to Strava, which automatically recharges the battery to 100% ready for use next time, but recently my unit shut down after about 6hrs of recording on a single ride and I hadnt finished the days ride, given that I thought the Edge 500 had a battery life of approx 14-18 hrs I wondered if the constant USB charging from around the 90 - 95% mark shortened the battery life ?
Budget Action Cameras
I'm doing a corporate adventure race in 2 weeks and wanted to buy a cheap (around $100) action camera to be used while running, riding and kayaking.
Any advice/experience would be appreciated. Thanks

Rideeye Cycling 'black box'
Given other discussions going on around here, this could be a timely project:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rideye/ridey...
What makes this interesting is that it has claimed 12 hour battery life, and records a 1 hour continuous loop which is saved at the press of a button or if the unit detects a crash.
Little heavy at 300g, but it's built to survive a crash and the price is good.
Any backers?

Edge 500 brick.
I bricked my brand new Garmin Edge 500 just as I was about to take it on it's first ride. The screen came up with "Software Missing" ! Fuelled up on coffee and carboshotz I spent an angry half an hour on the computer and eventually found a bootstrap program that allowed me to get things going again. I updated to the latest version of firmware and it seems to have performed ok.
