If you are interested will be lost for good laughs, while long-distance cycling or are considering some cycling to you will be pleased to know that now cyclists on a GPS gadget, attach to the handle bar, make it convenient if you need to change the route happens. On my long distance bike ride along the coast of California, I managed to find some very small side streets to make me wash the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway), if the deviation was a30-mile detour that would take me to about 1600 meters high, very damaged, the daily mileage. Fortunately, the locals helped me on that.

Today, the GPS device would be an alternative route indicated that, without even breaking My Stride. Garmin makes some very light and robust GPS handlebar mount on that device with backlight for night that needs to come up with a number of options for each. For about $ 300-400 you can use a Garmin GPS 605and $ 100 more for a chip from his site with all the roads of North America.

The Garmin 705 model, which runs between $ 600-700 comes with cadence and heart rate monitor for optimal performance and efficiency, and comes with all the roads of North America, and the base of the measure of that distance, speed, time, etc. Not long ago I bought a unit, has taken on a journey of 180 miles in two days and the unit of Garmin was sufficient and helped a lot, was particularly excellentElevation notations. This device also tells you your heart rate, speed and best illustrates the history of the race, which can be downloaded to your computer.
