Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

So which one is better for cycling? I'll opt for the speedmaster, at least until it rains.

Tag Heuer Formula1 plus my Polar 725x power on the bars. I usually wear the wristwatch, mostly due to habit.

Normally my Polar S710i but when cycling to work it's my huge Panerai Luminor Submersible which weighs somewhere near the UCI limit!
