100% LOVE IT

I love this thing. Having all the data at my fingertips is key in tweaking my performance. This Garmin setup is the perfect entry into having a computer on your bike. I live in NYC and am surprised at how well it navigates for street biking. It links up with Ride with GPS & Strava perfectly. Having heart-rate and cadence info provides fantastic insights as well. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a computer on their bike.

GREAT COMPUTER
on September 10, 2022

I recently got back into cycling and wanted to upgrade my computer system. Since I already have and love my Garmin watches (Fenix 7x and Tactics Solar Delta) I thought I would go with Garmin.
I am not disappointed! It is easy to set up once you get the hang of the buttons and functions. I have since added a couple widgets that contain my emergency information and I love the fact it can be set to automatically track me so my family can know where I am and If I ever had a medical incident they would know exactly where I was.
The mapping system is cool. You can see your rout and the streets and crossings etc. you can set your screens the way you want then to show what you want and you can remove what you don't want or use. I have had no issues with the push buttons and even with a protective cover they function well.
It mounts to your bike nicely and is very secure.
the screen is easy to read and see even in low light situations (settings will set this up) I have no complaints and really love the Garmin Edge 530.
Overall a really nice computer!

Garmin Edge 530 Rock Solid
on September 6, 2022
Posted by: Steven M
The Garmin Edge 530 includes a heart rate monitor, speed sensor and cadence sensor.
Keep in mind the Edge 530 does not have a touch screen and requires pushing actual buttons. I find this a benefit because I ride in rain and snow, which can make touch screens hard to use and in the winter heavy gloves don't work well with touch screens.
The Edge 530 with the HR monitor, using the Garmin apps, feeds my workout data to various fitness programs and to coaches.
The Edge 530 has some fun tech, including flow and air-time, which is great for mt biking.
Great device and accessories. I recommend the Edge 530 to any cyclist and the kit with additional sensors to anyone looking to get more detailed about their workouts.
I did have some struggles with synching the Edge 530, Garmin Apps and other Apps. I had to delete and start over two times. But still only took about 25 minutes.

Great for my mountain bike rides

This computer has been a total game changer for tracking my rides. I love that it's small but still easy to read what's on the screen. It allows me to download routes and sync my Strava and TrailForks accounts. Also, the distance tracking is way more accurate than the previous watch that I was using to track my rides. I can also broadcast my heart rate during an activity from my Forerunner 245 so I get complete stats to look at after a ride.
