The idea that there are a group of satellites in space that are able to pinpoint a location all the way down on earth within a few feet is amazing and slightly scary. Handheld GPS units have been available to the general public for years and I recently I got my first GPS unit in the form of a cycling computer. It not only tracks my route but it also tracks my speed, distance traveled, elevation change, and more. What it really is though; is an overpriced gadget. As decadent as it may be, my Garmin computer has in many ways, changed the way I think about riding my bike. It’s almost as though im never riding alone now because im always trying to outrun or keep up with this little computer. It is a constant motivator pushing me to ride harder, faster, further.
