Going the Distance with Bike Computers

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

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

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

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.
