BIKEmate Cycling computer - get on ya bike !

Advantages: small, easy to use, cheap
Disadvantages: not accurate

After buying a mountain bike over a year ago, I must admit I hardly ever use it. This year I've started making a few changes to my life and one is to start some form of exercise to become slightly fitter - so I bought a cycling computer ! No it won't make me fit but I thought it would act as an incentive to get me out and about because its a new gadget for me to play with but obviously have to travel far to test it properly. Oooooookaaaaaaaay you're thinking ! but anyway, I ordered it from that lovely little place called ebay for £5.99 and thought what a bargain. Similar computers with only 9 functions cost about £15 in the shops and do less. So it arrives typically on a day I have to go to work and can't use it :(.

Review of BIKEmate Cycling computer

For all your cycling needs

Advantages: Has EVERYTHING you need, site is easy to use and secure, Excellent online experience
Disadvantages: The shops are too far away from me.

Review of Evans Cycles

Garmin's ultimate cycle computer

Advantages: Combined cycle computer and sat nav. Lots of features
Disadvantages: Initially it is difficult to learn to use

personal profile, stick it on the bike and go for a ride. The start/stop button tells the Edge 705 which bit s to record. Once you get back from the ride it is possible to save the data to the PC software Garmin provides as a download on its website. If you're a bit more au fait with a computer, then it is possible to pull the data file straight out of the unit, because it mounts as a USB mass storage device. The data can then be uploaded and analysed using various software packages. ****Bike computer functions**** The Edge 705 also has a huge range of bike computer functions including speed, time/stopwatch, calories expended, cadence (providing you have the cadence sensor), altitude and heart rate amongst many others. It is possible to customise the display so you can see up to ten of them at once, and you can have different ...
