🚴 Enhance Your Cycling Adventures with the Garmin Edge 500 Cycling GPS Review

When I decided to use GPS for my bike computer this year, it had to have HR functionality along with reliable readings. I first tried to discount a computer that was nearly identical in size, features, and functionality, and probably made by the same manufacturer for this well-known company as the Garmin 500.

I bought this to replace my Garmin Forerunner 305. I've taken it to the US, Australia and New Zealand. It's an improvement over the 305 in every way aside from one thing, and it does a great job.
