Garmin-Forerunner-305

This is the GPS unit I use when I cycle. For a quick mount to your handlebar, you can purchase a pre-made mount made for heart rate monitors or… just use a tiny piece of pipe insulation foam. All you do then is strap the unit to your handlbar like you would to your wrist. It won’t fall off. This unit tracks your start and stop points, route, heart rate, speed, and elevation. You can then upload your data to Garmin’s free software or the web. An example of uploaded data can be found at http://connect.garmin.com/player/12115180.
