Top 10 cycling gadgets: See.Sense, Lock8, Firefly and more
Ever since the Olympics, more and more women in the UK are getting on their bikes, with Sport England reporting a 200,000 increase in regular cyclists and this year’s Tour de France kicking off in Yorkshire only adding to our enthusiasm for literally jumping on the saddle. But whether you see yourself as the next Victoria Pendleton or simply like biking to work, you probably want to stay safe, keep track of your fitness progress, and of course, have constant access to your phone. Here are a few gadgets and gizmos to increase your pedal power.
Garmin Edge 200
We all know
Garmin for their GPS, but their gadgets aren’t just for cars. The Edge 200 records your route so you can review it later and its Virtual Partner setting challenges you to beat your personal best, or compete virtually by downloading rides from other Garmin users. It’s waterproof up to one metre for 30 minutes and uses a rechargeable battery that should give you 18 hours on one charge. It’s also compatible with Garmin Connect™, an online community where you can share your stats, find training plans, and get encouragement from other cyclists. You can even use it to find out about local races in your area.
It’s £78.89 from Amazon.
