I felt it was better to forget it and just enjoy riding.

The main differentiator for me is that Garmin's battery life (17 hrs)
compared to the iPhone's (4 hrs).
Assuming all works as planned, IPhone battery life will not be an issue for
me in a few days. Peter White shipped my BM Luxos U (dynamo light with
USB outlet charger) Thursday. As long
When biking is an extraordinary activity, we're more inclined to need to
measure it. When biking is ordinary activity, we are much more inclined to
just hop on and go, and the previous measures held so dear become
irrelevant. Also, What I measure can effect why I ride and whether I feel
good
Not necessarily. Some of us like to log our activity and compare where we
are to where we were or where we aspire to be. Weight is a common data
point for many record keepers. I log my exercise workouts and have for
years. It's part of my everyday routine. I also like to look at trends over
time.
My (hoped-for) solution as well. Will report when Luxos arrives next Tuesday.

If you found yourself reaching your mileage goal halfway through the
season, why would you bother to keep track?

I would revise my goal, as I did last year when I found myself rolling
over 10,000 in the middle of a ride last November. I
I use my computer mainly for that, to log the hours. With a young family at
home I unfortunately cannot succumb to the bike that is like some kid from
the wrong side of the tracks who wants you to stay out all day playing
hookie, haha.

Not having a smartphone is somewhat going against the tide of history,
IMO. It would be like sticking with the telegram after other people got a
phone or only listening to radio after TV came out. My phone is a great
tool when I am out riding for both letting me know where the hell I am and
I think my buddy bought his Garmin because he couldn't find an Iphone
bracket he liked.

Ok stupid question time, is a car garmin the same as a bike garmin? my dad
has a spare in the basement since he got a car with built in GPS and
whatnot and I would like to give it a whirl.

I'm not up on the tech, but the bike garmin is about the same size as a
cateye and it radio-receives the standard heart-monitor signal and cadence
transducers, etc - a system adopted by many makers.

I don't have one (smartphone). I'm not saying it isn't useful, but
generally I don't need the features of it, I do not want to pay for one and
I hate the size of them. I use one of those pay as you go phones from
Walmart and barely ever use up minutes on it. Can't stand those kind of
gadgets
I've used an iPhone and currently have a Garmin 810. I like them both for
different reasons. The Garmin is more of a single purpose device I use on
longer rides. The main differentiator for me is that Garmin's battery life
(17 hrs) compared to the iPhone's (4 hrs). I generally have the iPhone

My take on Marc's story was that when his bike became his daily transportation,
old mileage goals seemed irrelevant, as did the computer. I had the same
experience when I integrated cycling into my daily routine rather than
something I did after work and on weekends.
