My son (32) is trying to get back into reading, he’s wanting Sci-fi based books?

Can anyone recommend any books that aren’t to heavy that won’t put him off

Thinking of going to watch my team play next year, sailing as a foot passenger to Heysham, is the train always there to Lancaster waiting for the boat to come in ?

Ideally it’ll be easier to go to Liverpool on the SeaCat and get a train from Lime St but not confident it’ll sail in April

Loving my Creo Ebike, as a bit of a technophobe it took me a while to set up, never thought I’d need a E-bike times change unfortunately

I used to ride 350 miles a week with no trouble, as I don’t drive I commuted on my bike as well. Did Lejog, London to Nice, Ventoux, then ill health struck unable to ride for 3 years(Left Branch Block Bundle of the heart, Sarcoidosis & Pneumonia). I bit the bullet and got a E-bike, the most expensive one I’ve bought but at my age it’ll be the last one I’ll buy. Loving getting out again

Just setting my Creo gravel E-bike up, is it recommended to turn this function on

Charge Limit
By enabling Charge Limit, the main battery will stop charging at 80%. On every 10th charge, the main battery will charge to the full 100% for internal calibration.

I’ve just purchased the Specialized Creo SL carbon e gravel bike, I’m struggling to get my garmin 530 edge and my Exposure Strava light on the bars/stem to room and angle

What does the MasterMind Turbo Connect do,does it record ride data so I won’t need my garmin
