New bike computer or GPS? and which one?
Posted: Sun Sep 30, 2012 8:58 pm
Today I put my MTB on the rack on the car and drove to Glenrock for a ride with the kids. When I arrived my bike computer has decided it want to go on holiday without me. I rode some out the route when I got back home but it's gone.
I use my smart phone to track Strava and have tracked rides for a couple of years, but the phone stays in a pocket or backpack. I like to have a speed/distance display on the bars of the bike for longer rides and enduro events. I also have multiple bikes for different purposes. So far haven't tracked cadence and have only experimented with HRM
Question time: Which way to jump? Cheapish basic computer or dedicated GPS device (I don't know other than Garmin). If you are recommending a GPS device which is good?
