You’re so right Dave. I was thinking of installing a 150mm stem to put the 500 far enough away so I can read it. Pretty soon I’ll have to attach my watch to my ankle, my arms aren’t long enough.

Well the critics wanted cameras… now they’ve got them. Great.

Imagine the iPad had out before the iPhone or the iPod. The iPad would have made it onto our bikes; maybe inside a pannier, or maybe in a daypack or a messenger bag for commuters/tourers, etc). But cyclists would grumble about the size and the obscene number of grams, and wonder why it didn’t have a camera or maybe even some way to connect by voice.

We’d be asking for an iPod Touch and an iPhone. The day the iPod was released would have been the day cyclists would have relegate the iPad to the scrapheap of cycling history.

Of the cycling apps on my iPhone I’ve tried so far, the capability to correctly record elevation gain is missing. Forget the iPhone (except as a phone). I’ll stick with my Garmin 500, especially since Garmin is coming out with snap-on, a 9.7 inch magnifying screen to actually let me read the thing while I’m on my bike.

LOL! Just needs some strategically placed vortex generators for
improved aerodynamics!

With a name like iPad you think they would find a way to mount it inside the cyclists shorts for even better aerodynamics. Perhaps ChamiosTech would allow for a soft pliable case so that it could be sewn into the short and serve two functions at once.

Damn,

Solar power means limited battery life so only daylight rides.

Does this run off of GPS or do you need a big ass magnet on the fork?

Excellent.
