I still haven’t gotten the Garmin Edge 705 bike computer that I have been dreaming of, so now I am starting to look into less expensive options for my current biking schedule. I am trying to bike at least 20 miles a day, and I think I am around that, but I would like to know for sure because I am particular like that. Plus, I think knowing my mileage will help me set training goals so that I can eventually do a century.

But, a journey of a hundred miles begins with regular and steady peddling, so here are some cool bike computers that can help keep track of the journey along the way :

Planet Bike Protege 9 Wireless Computer - I love the idea of a wireless bike computer like the Protege 9.0. The last thing I need to do is waste time with more cables!

Polar CS300 Cycling Computer - What’s better than a wireless bike computer? A bike computer you can wear on your wrist like a watch! Plus, it has a built-in heart rate monitor for optimal training results.

Velotrend Bike Brain Bicycle Computer -The Bike Brain is great for people who want to sync up their PalmPilot or Handspring Visor to their bike computer. This version doesn’t offer heart rate or cadence monitors, but otherwise, it’s like an organizational dream come true.

While perusing local stores and online reviews in my quest for new bike brakes and a padded bike seat, I discovered another must-have bike accessory: the Garmin Edge 705. It combines the best features of bike training computers with Garmin GPS navigation, so you can explore new terrain freely, confident you are getting the workout you want–and that you’ll find your way back home. It’s on the Men’s Health Lust List and got a write up on Engadget a couple of months ago. I have been reading a lot of positive reviews about the integrated personal training system and the wireless route sharing capabilities. I LOVE the fact that it comes with a wireless heart rate monitor; it is such a cool feature. Can’t wait to take one for a spin, but for now it will go on my wish list.
