How does the Mio Cyclo 305 compare to the Bryton Rider 50? Would be nice to have cadence and HR, but not essential. I'd go Garmin, but just can't justify paying that amount of money.

I swear I got one of the last ones the other week. Very shortly after I reserved it, the site said no longer available. A lot of money in the grand scheme of things but I suppose it was a 'bargain' compared to some of the prices for these features out there. Only one problem so far, the speed sensor seems to register about 2-3mph faster than the GPS speed. I got really excited for a few seconds when I glanced down and seen 25mph for a relatively modest effort! The manual says that it detects wheel size automatically and there are no menu options to manually enter it. Anyone else had this experience? I've got the latest firmware etc.

The missus' car does the same when she has the satnav on. The digital speedo is always a few mph less than the satnav speed.
All in all, are you happy with the Mio? Still holding off on pulling the trigger on one.

You can link your mioshare to strava now when you upload your ride to mioshare it populates strava too.
Think I have done around 220 miles since buying it last month with it.

I've got a "Surprise Me" function, otherwise known as a lousy sense of direction combined with poor local knowledge. I quite often end up doing 70km when I intended 40 too

The Navigation is a bit strange. It managed to send me on a 10 mile journey home instead of the shortest 8 mile route.
There is an update due this month apparently too. I'm hoping this one works as the last update borked my unit

I've been using mine happily for over a month. Surprise Me is a great feature, although a little annoying when it decides to boost the miles by swerving you around housing estates in town as on my recent Tour De Crawley.
I'm in the market for an out front mount for mine though. Any ideas?
