A silly question, buy why do you all use a GPS while biking? I have never used one and I have ridden well over 200,000 miles in the last 35 years, and rode in mountains, deserts, cities etc and never worried about getting loss. So help me understand the need for such a toy.
There is no need.
But then, I don't NEED my DVD player, I don't need my widesceen TV, my surround system, I don't NEED a bike costing more than a hundred bucks, really, I don't need my camera equipment, I don't need clipless pedals, I don't need my HRM, I don't need a very good printer, I don't need any more speed in my puter, I don't need <etc...etc...etc>
Need? NO.
Want? Find useful? Motivating? Measuring pace and running distance? Hiking? YES.
Am I human? Do I want things beyond what is necessary to sustain life? YES.
So, yes, it was indeed a silly question.
