Garmin Edge® 130 Plus, GPS Cycling/Bike Computer, Download Structure Workouts, ClimbPro Pacing Guidance and More (010-02385-00), Black

Perfect screen size and functionality. Does what I need done and a lot more. I am surprised at how well it performs regardless of the extreme dirt road conditions I put the bike through. The data is easily downloaded for analysis. The satellite capture is reasonably quick, and the accuracy is quite impressive. Seems to handle rainy days rather well and I see no screen distortion during hot days so far. This was a recommendation from a friend, and I too recommend this product. It’s big enough to read the screen with ease and small enough to blend with the bicycle. I have not done any riding at night so I can’t offer an opinion of how well the screen background looks in the dark. Once the sun goes down, I make sure I am back from the trails in the woods because I don’t want to run into the cocaine bear hiding in the bushes.

I was looking for an inexpensive computer since I’m new to cycling and have already invested a lot of money on the bike and other equipment. So, this seemed like a good affordable option based on reviews. I would have to agree! I also got the Garmin speed and cadence sensors. It connected to both of those with no issues. It also connected to my Polar HR 10 without any problems. It seems to track everything very well and I auto send all my data to Strava. The only annoyance is that my girlfriend also has the 130 and sensors and they keep asking to connect to each other’s sensors and monitors when we’re getting ready to ride or just finish. If there is a way to have it ignore certain sensors or new sensors or only have it search for sensors with a menu selection, that would be great. So far, I have not found a solution. Otherwise, I’m very pleased.

This is my first GPS cycling computer. The small size is perfect. Very secure mounted to my 35 mm handlebar. I’m using the handlebar mount that came in the package. No movement or rattling while riding single track. The display is very easy to read with different display settings available. When used with the Garmin Connect app you get lots of stats pertaining to the ride you just completed. Color graphs, a color coded map of what you just rode, not just the course but what you actually rode. It will show multiple laps , fast sections slow sections, climbs etc…The app is loaded with stuff for a multiple of activities from walking, running biking and so on. Anyways I’m really enjoying this. Finally I’m no longer guessing at how many miles I’m riding. The battery life seems to be ok. From fully charged I’ve gone on 4 rides about 7 hours and the battery charge is at 41%. This is also includes the use of a speed sensor. I got the speed sensor because I heard it adds accuracy to the speed and milage. I have not used the Garmin 130 plus without it. All in all I’ve always wanted a GPS cycling computer but they were so expensive . This unit and buying the speed sensor still wasn’t cheep but I felt like it offers a lot of value for the price.

I bought this to explore the local trails near where I live. The Garmin Express software allows you to create your own trail by drawing your desired route and then uploading the map to the Edge.The navigation is so far hit or miss. I noticed that there are some turns where it will notify you about 50-100 ft before the actual turn, but in the display, it says the turn is about 200-300ft away. Most of the time, when it says to take the turn, you would have either missed the junction or you would have already made it. This delay can obviously be annoying if you’re in new territory and is completely reliant on the instructions. I tend to review my route first and have a rough idea, so if you’re planning to go into a new territory, best is not to rely this 100%.Battery life has been fine. My rides tend to last less than 2 hours, so it might not be a good gauge. I’ve also added a heart rate monitor (I used my older Polar H10 and it worked without any issues), and a cadence sensor.Overall, this meet my current needs. I’m by no means a competitive rider, and am just using it to have a rough idea of my planned routes.

I used to be an avid cyclist, but haven’t ridden for over a decade. When I decided to get back on the bike, my vintage computer needed an upgrade. I didn’t need anything fancy, but it did want to integrate my heart rate monitor. This little gem is absolutely perfect! Small, easy to read, plenty of features, and it displays HRM details. It even has an alert if my heart rate isn’t in the training zone for that particular day.I would definitely recommend this!
