I'm not sure if cycling computers are worth it. I don't have one and I don't feel like I'm missing out. I enjoy riding my bike and I don't need a computer to tell me how far I've gone or how fast I'm going. I think they're probably more useful for people who are training for something specific, but for casual riders like me, I don't think they're necessary.
Yes, you can use your phone as a bike computer. You can use an app like Strava or MapMyRide to track your rides, and many phones have built-in GPS that can track your location and speed.
Yes, you can use your phone as a bike GPS. There are a few apps that you can use that will track your location and allow you to see your progress on a map. This can be a great way to stay on track and make sure you are going the right way.
Cadence is the rate at which you pedal, and is measured in revolutions per minute (RPM). Most bike computers will have a cadence sensor that you can attach to your bike to measure your cadence. You don't necessarily need a cadence sensor, but it can be helpful in tracking your performance and improving your cycling efficiency. If you're just starting out, you may not need to worry about cadence and can focus on other things like distance and speed. But if you're looking to ride faster and longer, cadence can be a valuable metric to

The bike mount feels great and solid in terms of quality. Installation was simple; I just unscrewed and removed one of the side screws to place in the center of my handlebar stem. My phone is kept safe and secure in the phone holder, which is separate from the bike mount. My iphone X is tightly held and hugged by the silicone on the phone holder, which is incredibly secure. The phone holder is universal, so there's no need to buy a new one if you get a new phone! Just be careful to double-check the list of supported devices, hehe. The quick-release feature was the key factor in my decision to purchase this item. I took a few tries to get used to the quick-release mechanism, which slips in and out really quickly. You can press either of the buttons on the left or right side of the phone to slide it to the left or right using the quick-release. Bam!!! Suddenly, your phone is no longer attached to the bike mount, and you can easily slide it back in (make sure you hear the click when you slide back the phone either right or left side).-Due to the silicone partially obscuring the front camera, the face identification feature is disabled. (I can understand why the descriptions refer to it as a safety feature.)-Due to the silicone on the bottom, it may be difficult to slide up to access the lock screen. You must swipe up to unlock the phone in the proper location, or else the passcode entry screen will appear instead of the notification area. - Miner issue for iPhone models without the home button starting with iPhone X. But as soon as you locate the proper swipe location, you're ready to go!

I realized I was consistently receiving fewer miles than I should have been while I was tracking my mileage alone using the Garmin Edge 820. I've just used the speed sensor on a few mountain bike rides, but already I've seen a significant increase in mileage. I haven't used it too often, so I can't comment to the battery life.

For a brand-new, high-end eBike, I required an out-front mount to have two specific features. The first requirement was that it had to be thin enough to pass through all of the fixed wiring on the bike handlebars. Second, it has to retain my Garmin Edge firmly under all possible touring circumstances. This Thinvik mount excelled at both tasks. The installation was easy to install on the new bike's thick bars, and the thin profile of the Thinvik mount made it simple to route the cable. The mount's reliability could then be tested last week. I rode the bike on a five-day tour of rural Kentucky and Indiana, including some extremely bumpy backroads where I dropped one water bottle. My Garmin Edge stayed firmly locked in place. The Thinvik mount's lower price compared to the Garmin version of the same mount is another feature I enjoy.

I thought it was fantastic at first. But when I went to put the unit together to utilize it, it wouldn't go together. The silicone web is to be placed between the mount and the holder before you slip the holder onto the mount. However, due to the thickness of the silicone web, the mount cannot slip onto the mount. Your phone is held firmly in place while you're riding thanks to the silicone web. The mount slid on without a problem when I tried to use it without the web. The holder won't come off the mount, which is the current issue. Because I won't use the phone holder without the web and you can't put the web on because it's too thick to go between the holder and the mount, I am completely unable to use the phone holder. Currently, I am unable to get the holder to detach from the mount. To me, they appear to be useless pieces of plastic. Not used.an update to my prior review.I had to retract my poor evaluation. After I posted my initial review, the shipper got in touch with me. They assisted me in solving my problem and even supplied me a picture. The silicone webbing was easy for me to attach to the mount. It is currently situated between the mount and holder after successfully stretching over the clamp. Now, where it truly joins is outside rather than in the space between the mount and holder. To fit between the mount and the holder, you must extend one of the webbing holes in the middle and draw it over the mount. And this is how it still operates! I appreciate you assisting me.

I recently purchased the Garmin 830 riding computer with sensor bundle. The dimension is ideal. The touchscreen is effective. During the ride, the display is clearly visible and responsive. You have the choice of using the Garmin App on your phone to plan your route and then sending the route to the Garmin. When the route was developed, it occasionally had me on the freeway rather than the bike path, so during my first ride, it issued me a lot of "off course" notifications. The GPS was pre-configured for Smart mode by default, perhaps to conserve battery life. However, if you look at the images of my vehicle, it has shortcuts. I set the setting to every second and will monitor the results. I enjoyed using the speed and cadence sensors very much. I was unable to figure out how to communicate the size of my tires to the speed sensor that is fastened to the wheel axel. You may swipe the screen to view various data pages while driving. One of the panels provides a beautiful visual representation of the upcoming elevation changes so you can see in advance whether a climb is about to end, a hill is coming, or whether you will be riding down a hill. I also had to modify the Garmin to include a heart rate data area. Despite the fact that an HR strap is provided in the box, Garmin does not by default display heart rate on any of the panels. During my voyage, it was simple to add, and it is now present going forward. Additionally, the 830 believed my ride to be a mountain ride. You can modify your Default Ride Type by going to Activity Profiles and changing an option there. Overall, I'm happy with this new model and would strongly suggest it. The cost is somewhat painful.

Amazing bundle includes the head unit, a chest heart rate sensor, a speed sensor for your wheel hub, and a cadence sensor for your cranks. The interaction with Strava is fantastic, and they link amazingly. For those indoor bikers, these also work well with Zwift and don't need an ANT converter because they are Bluetooth compatible. incredibly customizable and precise It is a significant investment, so I wouldn't suggest it for beginning bikers, but if you're serious about riding, it's well worth the cash.

This works, but there is a catch. I use OSX, and despite my best efforts, I was unable to get the default Garmin ANT Agent to recognize my cadence sensor and HRM. Fortunately, since I purchased this particularly to work with TrainerRoad's riding software, TR quickly recognized both of my equipment. Although I have a direct line of sight between my devices and the USB stick, and my trainer is just around 5 feet away from a Mac Mini, TR rates the signal quality as "Poor." In order to conduct a test, I moved the Edge 500 and the Mac apart by about 20 feet. While the USB stick lost contact with the HRM, The Edge continued to monitor my heart rate.Overall, it performs as it should, however the range and software implementation may be a little bit more beneficial. The ANT agent should be simple to pair with devices, but anyone who isn't utilizing it using third-party software created to use it may find it frustrating. Other than that, it performs flawlessly.

Although I've only had the cadence sensor for a few months, it has already exceeded my best hopes. It was simple to install, and my Edge 810 bike computer picked it up right away. I was able to determine my ideal cadence thanks to the sensor, and I no longer utilize high cadences when climbing hills.

This phone holder is excellent. My Pixel 3 (standard model; not XL) fits snugly in my hand. Although my commute is smooth, I recently took it on a more bumpier route, and my phone never slipped off. I've been using it for a few days. The fingerprint sensor on the back is not blocked by the mount when using a pixel, making it extremely secure.Being made entirely of soft rubbery plastic, it is significantly lighter than many of the larger phone mounts available, and it is extremely simple to connect to the bike. It firmly grasps the bar as well. You won't need to be concerned with spacers thanks to the adjustable strap. Any bar can be used. It does lay flat on the handlebars, so you'll need to make sure you have room for your phone's width, but as long as your handlebars aren't overflowing with other electronics, that shouldn't be a problem.

A great bike computer with GPS is the Edge 530. It fulfills my expectations in every way and does so better than any of its predecessors.After reading other reviews, it seems that some customers do not know what they are purchasing.This machine is1) A piece of consumer electronics. That implies that it is imperfect and needs to be updated.2) A high-end bicycle computer. There is no way around it! Although it is not the best Garmin available, it is much more than a speedometer.I have no negative information to provide, so I'll go on to the positive instead:1) Excellent battery life. For 7-8 hours, my Edge 520 was functional (GPS, power meter, HR, cadence, etc). The 530 used STP (Seattle to Portland) for more over 12 hours and had 38% battery life left when it was finished.2) Dependable connectivity No problems with the phone, speed sensor, power meter, or HR connection.3) Out-of-the-box maps I used to need to upload maps of a region to the Edge 520, but not any more. All of it is pre-built.Four) No touch screen. That strikes me as a valid point. I'm glad that the UX is so similar to the 520's!5) GLONASS - increased precision6) Enhancements to Strava segments. Though not for everyone, it does a great job at handling favorited bits (compares you to KOM, PB, recent best, last time, friends best)Though not novel, the ability to program your own screens is a highly useful tool. This expands the range of potential outcomes. This feature of Connect IQ enables you to download personalized data fields and screens so that your device can truly serve your needs.
GPS bike computers are becoming increasingly popular with cyclists as a way to track their rides and progress. But how accurate are they? Generally speaking, GPS bike computers are quite accurate. However, there are a few factors that can affect their accuracy, such as the quality of the GPS signal and the number of satellites in view. Some GPS bike computers also come with built-in barometric altimeters. These are generally more accurate than GPS alone, but can be affected by weather conditions. Overall, GPS bike computers are a great way to track your rides and progress
Bike computers, also known as cyclometers, help cyclists track their speed, distance and time. They usually attach to the bike's handlebars or stem. Most bike computers use batteries, which will eventually need to be replaced. Depending on the model, bike computers can last anywhere from one to six years before the batteries need to be replaced. Some higher-end models may even include a battery indicator that will let you know when it's time for a new set.
A bike computer is a device that is mounted on a bicycle and calculates basic metrics such as speed, distance, and time. A power meter is a device that measures the power output of the rider. Power meters are more expensive than bike computers and are used by competitive cyclists to track their progress and performance.
If you are looking for a good, basic bike computer, the Garmin Edge 130 is a great choice. It has all the essential features you need, including GPS tracking, distance, speed, and time, plus it is very easy to use. It is also relatively inexpensive, making it a great option for budget-conscious cyclists.
