Mounting a Garmin PND to your bike, dont know why you’d want to though.
If you don’t have a GPS enabled cycling computer, but do have a Garmin never fear the ugly ass mounts are here! You basically have 4 mounts to choose from: IG-B01A from ITrek Bike, MFX2, Ram Mount, and Garmin’s Own that range anywhere from $10 to $33. The IG-B01A seems to have garnered mostly excellent [...]
CCN: Blows other cycling apparel manufacturers away
I rode with Pinnacle Racing(a local Atlanta club) this past season and they went with an up-and-coming custom apparel manufacturer: Danger Racing/CCN Sports. The quality of the apparel is excellent and the prices are unbeatable. They have no minimum order and they will take your own design or design them for you. They can make [...]
You don’t need no stinkin Garmin Edge 705, get this for 1/10th the price!
Holux has released a new gadget(M-1000C) with only one purpose: GPS logging. The unit simply records your route via GPS which you can then upload to your PC via Bluetooth for later analysis. The software is the same as is used with the Holux GPSport 245. The unit only has one button, so any configuration [...]
First post of 2009: Holux GPSport 245 review
Gautam Khattak has posted a pretty thorough review of Holux’s GPSport 245 GPS cycling computer. What seems to set this unit apart from every other cycling GPS device is the ease of use and well designed user interface. The device has a “One-Touch mechanism for saving a POI (Point of Interest). If along your travels [...]
Yes…..another ride tracker for your iPhone 3G: Fitnio
I never realized so many geeks were also athletes. Please take with the deepest of sympathies as I am one such geek. Cardio by Fitnio is also a free exercise tracker that integrates the iPhone 3G’s GPS to track your rides/runs. The application shows your speed, distance, and calories burned. The application does ask for [...]
New category: Portable Riding Computer(PRC)- also iBike reviews
AND You heard it hear first folks. I have now coined the term the Portable Riding Computer(PRC), so anyone who uses from here on out will be getting nice little cease and desist order request to stop using the term and provide me a licensing fee. Hey.. I have to get rich somehow. To [...]
Lost on a group ride… How’d you get back?
Now that the season is drawing to a close the news for the cycling industry is slowing down as well. In order to keep my blog going I will probably be adding many boring super interesting personal stories to the blog in an effort to drawn in my audience. Earlier in the season I was [...]
Would you get custom cycling shoes?
If you’ve been reading this blog since it’s inception(not very long ago admittedly), you’ll know that I’m also a speedskater. With that being said I have an interesting view of both sports and how they can complement and where they are opposites. One such place where the 2 sports seem to complement each other are [...]
Suunto X10 review
Navigadget has a good review of the Suunto X10. It’s bascially a GPS navigation watch. You can hook it up to your computer via USB for analysis after a training session. Google has the prices on this unit between $536 – $600. I think this would only be a good alternative to a Garmin if you absolutley [...]
Fitness gadget for “the rest of us.” Any app to cyclists?
There’s a cool new gadget making the rounds and garnering a lot of buzz in silicon valley. It’s called the FitBbit(cute.. I know). This little trinket basically tracks “exercise intensity levels, calories burned, sleep quality, steps and distance traveled.” It transmits the data wirelessly to your computer through a dock…. hmmm kind of an oxymoron.
