What gadgetry? Have I missed a previous post or am I going senile and have forgotten? Probably the latter.

Great start! Can anybody tell me how to set up more than one bike on Garmin Edge 500 please? I have different cadence senors on the bikes and I think I've confused the poor little thing. I can change the name of Bike1 but not find another one to activate
Doh!

Sorry Mo. Just spotted your question. My last few rides have been confusing as my Garmin wouldn't give me cadence and the last one kept stopping me at less than 3mph when I was going along much quicker. I think it thought I was riding the other bike which was stationary in the garage

This is copy and paste from a Garmin forum. Probably doesn't tell you anything that the manual doesn't though.

Set up a second bike profile with cadence for the second sensor. See page 43-44 of the manual. It will look to pair with the new sensor. See page 20 of the manual. Switch profiles when you switch sensors and it will connect with the correct sensor.

Goto Spanner - Bike Settings - Bike Profiles - and yo should see a list of 5 bikes which you can set up separately.

To switch between them quick press the power button and it will show your current bike, just touch that and the list will be displayed

My cycling kit did turn up as expected, so as soon as my son got home we were out. I made the mistake of letting him decide the route. It was only a short ride of just over ten miles but he found every hill that he could. I think he revels in the fact that on those ascents he wipes the floor with me.
Tomorrow will be a long ride so it will be my turn to put him through his paces. ( I wish).

I have much to learn about the Garmin. Did not know about the quick press off power button

However the sensors are different for each bike apart from HR sensor which goes across all bikes

I get into settings, bike settings, and the following appears. I don't get a list of 5. Where it says Pinnacle was what used to be bike 1. Or do I need to be doing this when it's plugged into the computer?

Sorry my instructions were for a 800 not a 500

Will look at my old instruction book.

 

[Phoenix Lincs]

Thanks. I'm multi tasking and hunting through google too

Select the Pinnicale entry using the up/down arrows and press Enter the other bikes should appear.
