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 ?

Deliberately hit by van on Morgan Rd Firetrail
FYI, a bit shaken.
I was out for a ride this morning and got deliberately hit by a white van on the Morgan Rd fire trail. I'm okay and I was not moving at the time as I'd pulled over and was on the side of the track. He was doing about 5km/h and I'd looked away.
I looked up to see a deliberate side swipe swerving 2m towards me and he knocked out his left rear view mirror. Couldn't move fast enough standing over my bike with bushes to my right.
Rego was DAF001.
He then got out yelled at me and started grabbing at my bike. I'd picked up his mirror from the ground.
