FE Active 30L waterproof backpack "the cloudbreak"
I bought the Fe Active 30L "The Cloudbreak" waterproof backpack on Amazon in 2019. Due to the low price I was a little bit skeptical about the materials quality.... On the other hend I knew the company was from California and this was enouth to persuade me buying the backpack. I'm using it since two years and now is time to write my opinion. The backpack is very well made, materials are long lasting and the "roll top" locking system is really waterproof (pay attention on the way you close it! You need to refold edges at least three times)! You can see an "on the field" test here. The backpack is 100% impermeable!

Carrying bicycles by car it's not so easy.... in particular e-bikes. Obviously t's impossible to carry e-bikes on the roof of the car due to the weight of the bike.
You can try to put your bicycle inside the car lowering the rear seats and (maybe) removing the front wheel. But that way you can carry only a maximum of two bikes.
I used to carry one or two bicycles on the roof of the car (not e-bikes) and one or two bicycles in the trunk.

This Decathlon childrens MTB, BTWin Rockrider 500 was in very bad conditions. It had a lot of stickers but the real problems where mechanical.
I was happy to accept this challenge and I started cleaning and unmounting everything to better understand if the restoration worth it.
I spent more or less sixty euros to buy all the needed components... you can see the result in this video!

Easy solution to mount the Garmin Forerunner 945 on your bicycle
I use Garmin watches since ever (see here) and I finally found the solution on how to mount the watch on the handlebar of the bike! This is also a very cheap and easy solution!
You can find all the necessary stuff inside the Triathlon bundle box. In particular you need the quick release kit. The problem is that wearing the watch 24h/7 I'm not comfortable with such a big tool. I don't like its appereance too. The easy solution is to buy a watch strap with a quick release machanism. This make the removing of the straps easyer and faster and you can link the watch to the bike in seconds.
AWESOME!
You can buy a original Garmin's watch strap for 50 euros or a non original one for less then 10 euros.... it's your choice!
Since I'm curious, I weighed all the stuff composing this solution (watch without straps and quick release kit handlebar mount) and I was surprised to see the result! Only 58 grams! Take in mind that the watch with its straps weight 51 grams!!
You can watch a video that expplain this solution here...
