Front-loading cargo bikes: Riese and Muller Load 75. I've also ridden the Urban Arrow extensively (ie, many week-long rentals). I've also done multple days with the R+M Packster, Douze V2, and a bunch of others. The R+M Load 75 is superior in every way as far as I'm concerned, but the suspension is particularly well-dialed; nothing else is even fit for comparison. ---- Guitar picks: Blue Chip TAD or Hense Happy Turtle (in whatever size you like). I've used so many others over the years... Dunlop Tortex was my stage pick for years. D'Andrea Pro Plec also. Fender mediums. Literally a dozen others. But for speed and flatpicking finesse on a steel-string acoustic, especially for highly technical styles like bluegrass and trad, I've come to realize that spending $10-$30 on a pick is actually not unreasonable. ---- Guitar strings: d'addario XS. I've also used - for years each - Elixirs and Martin SPs. The d'addarios just don't break as easily, especially G. ---- Instrument pedalboard switcher: I've settled for the moment on the Line6 Helix. I've also used the Boss DS-9 and a few others. It's not a very fair comparison, and I use the Helix as an all-in-one solution, not just a switcher. But the thing that decides it for me is documentation. In fact, the Helix has very possibly the best documentation of any piece of technology, hardware or software, I've ever used. ---- Pointing device: Logitech MX Ergo. Also tried the Logitech M570, and several designer mice over the years. The MX Ergo is heavy-duty, precise, wireless works reliably with either the dongle or via bluetooth, and it's easy to clean. ---- Gamepad: 8bitdo. I've also used the logitech F310 and F510, several revisions of xbox controller, and a whole bunch of others. The 8bitdo pieces, especially the Pro2, are just way more rugged and precise. And comfy!
