Popular Post Zephyr Posted March 2, 2021 Popular Post Share #1 Posted March 2, 2021 I leave for work on my bike around 0645hrs daily. Today when I got to the office my emergency signal on my garmin computer went off, and I did not notice. My beautiful, still snuggled in bed wife got the signal and jumped up and was in the car heading to my location when she decided to call to see if I would answer and how bad it was. Oops. She is now back home and this will go one of two ways. She will either spend the day appreciating me more and more that I am safe, or I need to make it up to her. She is a cool chick and I think I will get a smile and a 'Yeah..., don't do that again" , but I may have to make homemade pasta on the weekend to make up for it 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted March 2, 2021 Share #2 Posted March 2, 2021 Oh boy! You are in trouble, but the pasta route seems a good idea. I'm surprised the Garmin isn't more "obvious" about the emergency being triggered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised the Garmin isn't more "obvious" about the emergency being triggered. It normally is..., and when it goes off you have 30 seconds to cancel it. But I stopped and went in the building to shut off alarms and open the bay door. I guess by the time I got back to my bike it was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So... what triggered the Garmin emergency alert? 2 hours ago, JerrySTL said: I turned off that feature on my Gamin. Too many false positives. My Garmin watch has that feature. I'll have to look... I'll guess back in August 2020 I probably turned on that feature. It's never triggered for me, which probably is a god thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a deceleration feature and maybe I stopped too quick at the building. I have seen that when stopping suddenly at lights before. Normally it goes off and I can shut it off. But I jumped off and went inside, so didnt hear it. When I came back out I went to put it to sleep and noticed the message so tried to cancel it, not realizing the time was up. Nice to know it does work though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it more a "Do I need to start swiping...?" sort of situation? Definitely, though, go heavy on the assorted upgrades. At our age, might as well go for the top-of-the-line model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Wheels Posted March 3, 2021 Share #22 Posted March 3, 2021 You need to do a striptease for her. Lots of whipped cream should be employed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
