Hello all,

What is your favorite USB rechargeable bike computer? And why?

RH

If it's GPS capable, it's a Garmin 500. For non-GPS bike computers, a Li coin cell lasts so long being rechargeable isn't worthwhile, IMO, and I'm not aware of any being available, though there may be a few.

Also with GPS based computers, people most use wheel/cadence sensors and HRM straps which rely on Li coin cells anyway.

My Garmin 500. The why is simple, I own it and it works great. HRM, cadence and speed are native, GPS enabled with the ability to display all of the relevant data that I like to see while riding.

Why? is the big question. If OP doesn't know s/he wants a particular feature that requires more juice than is in the coin cell, why would they want to mess with recharging the computer periodically?

My main thing is that I want something that I can download ride data.

I really like my Garmin Edge 200. It runs for two or three days of rides between charges. I connect it to my computer with USB, and it automatically uploads tons of data -- more than I could want -- to the Garmin web site. Ooh, pretty graphs!

Garnin edge 500. Because of its size and simplicity and accuracy with GPS. At the end of each rise I just plug it in, upload the data, and recharger it. Has HR monitor and cadence as well.
