Hi all,

Been looking around for some radios that are specific for cycling, or atleast some kits that can be used for them.

I saw these are used in some races

But any suggestions, or links would be great!

Thanks

    Nowhere near as Hi-Tech, but I have a cheap pair of Euro. compliant Motorola units.
    They're not really much good beyond line of sight, and the accessories are a little cheap and cheerful - for instance, the voice activated headset is no use in wind - so I can't use it when moving.
    The PTT earphone unit is OK though.
    It has a very limited encryption facility and no repeater station that I know of either.

    Depends what you want to do with it, and whether you want Euro. compliant system.

    We usually take them with us to large events to keep in touch, or for walking/camping.

    Some of the new Motorola units include funky GPS technology.
    Worth a look.
