Garmin Edge 500 (Heart Rate and Cadence)Bicycle GPS Unit

Great Price "Garmin Edge 500 (Heart Rate and Cadence)Bicycle GPS Unit" for $299.99 Today

This was my first gps-based cycling computer and it does almost everything I expected it to without any major problems, but there were a few minor issues encountered. On first use with a heart rate monitor, the monitor was detected but the display of heart rate was not shown by default on the screen. I had to sift through the display options and configure it to show heart rate. Seems counterintuitive to me. Also, the battery life is limited to one long ride. I found that if I went without charging between rides, you can lose the battery. In some cases, when the unit died, it didn't save the ride in progress. If you sync with a mac, I found the web based software on the gamin site to be easier to use than the mac training application which can be installed and the sharing feature was nice. These, by far, are all minor complaints in comparison to the benefits of configurability, lightweight and overall accuracy and performance. Yes, please offer some different color combinations.

Smooth operating bicycle GPS - Edward Doody - Dallas
I really like my new Garmin Edge 500. It was very easy to install and the mounting system, on the stem rather than handlebars, is a big plus. Its very easy to customize the three viewing screens with the data you want to see. You can choose from one to five data fields per page. My recommendation is 3 or fewer. When using the auto scroll feature the Edge will change screens about every four seconds and that is not long enough to find data if the screen is too busy. I also recently had a crash on my bike (broken clavical for me) but the Garmin did not come loose from its dock and perhaps because of its stem mount location, escaped unscathed. Highly recommended from a 20+ season cycling veteran.
