Self proclaimed geek, I am. Here’s your proof:
I got a Garmin 305 GPS Bike computer for Christmas. Top 10 coolest thing ever. It came with a cadence sensor and a heart rate monitor. So, on my bi-weekly ride on Sunday morning, I had:
- Average speed of 8.6 mph
- Max speed of 18.8 mph
- Distance 9.8 miles
That’s normal for all bike computers, This also included:
- Average cadence of 55 rpm
- Average heart rate of 134 bpm
- Calories burned: 687
The software imported the ride, and mapped me in Google Earth and USGS maps.
Here’s some picts of the unit, and the cadence sensor:


Now, go wash the geek off your hands.
I’m glad you like your Christmas present, Babe. Oh, and I’m never washing you off my hands, geek or not!
P.S. Did you mention you took these gifts with MY birthday present?
Umm, that was supposed to say, “took these PICS with my CHRISTMAS present.” I have three kids, what do you want? At least you have two comments now.
