When I first started cycling roughly four years ago (yep, another pandemic cyclist), I rode without a bike computer. I would simply track my rides using my Garmin watch. Then, my husband bought me the Garmin Edge 130 Plus, which made tracking my rides easier since I could see key stats in front of me instead of needing to lift my wrist just right to see my watch. However, it had a tiny screen and fairly limited features, so it wasn’t a bike computer that got me very excited.
