At our March meeting we’ll be featuring some of the most dependable and user-friendly GPS models, the Wahoo ELEMNT bike computers.
For many BCI riders, tracking cycling metrics likely started with a mechanical hub-mounted odometer mounted to your front fork. The only “data” collected was cumulative mileage. If you had one, you can probably still hear the “click” every time it counted one wheel revolution.
We’ve come a long way since then. From logging static mileage, bike computers have evolved to electronic units that track speed and trip distance via GPS satellite connectivity. This also allows for turn-by-turn route information. There’s a wealth of other data that can be displayed real-time, like cadence, heart rate, and power, with several ways to analyze what you do, and your performance (or lack of it!).
A rep from Wahoo will show us how available ride info can be easily setup and tailored to what you want to see, how the screen text size can be changed at the touch of a button, importing turn-by-turn ride files, and uploading ride data to 3rd-party apps like Strava and Ride with GPS. And if you’re participating in BCI’s Ridership Challenge, what you see while you’re riding can be seamlessly uploaded, too.
Have questions about other metrics? Bring ‘em on!
The rest of the Wahoo world, as in Wahoo Speedplay pedals and KICKR trainers, will be the second half of the presentation.
