Bike computer/gps

Anyone any thoughts on a first bike comp/gps after one that does say miles covered/total miles/speed that sort of thing but I dont want to spend a fortune to start with.

Unless you want maps and elevation a normal speedo should do that, something like a cateye strada.

I am the god of hell fire

Cateye Strada served me well a while ago

But do you have a smartphone/gizmo??
If so plenty of free apps like Strava/Cardiotrainer etc etc will tell you where youve been and how fast

I have a Bryton Rider 50 which has served me well. I like the fact I don't have to take my iPhone out if the weather is bad for Strava and I don't have to worry about draining my phone battery with a navigation app. I have heard good things about the Garmin 200 if you aren't too bothered about mapping.

Cateye Strada Double or V3 if you want HRM and Cadence

There are a few places still selling the Garmin Forerunner 305

Add the bike mount and you have a very capable bit of kit

The advantage Garmins have over the others is that Strava and Ride with GPS can read directly from them with no faffing. I like that.

I'd go for the 500 if I wasn't bothered about mapping. I had the 800 cuz it's useful for riding sprotive routes when the sportives aren't on
