Yesterday and today I’ve been out riding, with my beloved garmin. However, I’m not too excited about having to turn my wrist everytime I want to monitor how I’m doing (and as a new cyclist, I’m still in that “how fast am I going now? how about now?” stage). So naturally, a bike mount seems to be in order!
I dd a quick google search, and found a few product listings. Radio Shack actually had something for $7, but then there were two listing on the official garmin site:
The Quick Release Bike Replacement and the Quick Release Kit. Now logic would say I need the full kit because I’m not actually replacing anything (other than my wrist), but it’s not clear to be what extra the kit offers that I need.
I decided to do some more mining online, and read a reference on Bruce Morgan’s blog about a DIY aerobar mount. I’ll admit, I’d just as soon pay for the official garmin product, but I still haven’t quite determined which I need. Right now I’m not really concerned about the “quick” aspect of the release, although I suppose that could change if this whole duathlon thing pans out..
Update: and of course, a bit more digging brings me to the garmin cadence sensor that is compatible with the Forerunner 305. It’s actually cheaper than I expected. Ahhh, more toys!
