What does it do? A quick google makes it look like a GPS for your bike, and it comments on your speed and office rs training tips? Does it connect to the bike in some way (like knowing when you're pedaling)?

What's the feature you're most excited about?

Oh I can wax lyrically all afternoon to tell you why I need it.

I like to ride long off road trails. I'm tired of taking detours and getting lost in an unfamiliar area trying to find my way back on track.

The final straw was, last weekend exploring the Whakarewarewa forest on my MTB ( in Rotorua) for trails I haven't been on before and ended up having to unnecessarily pedal up a few steep climbs because I missed a path or two. So I'm throwing technology at the problem.

Plus, it's cool.

I think this is enough to justify a purchase of anything, so long as you actually use it and buying it doesn't compromise your financial security.

I was just interested in what it does. It sounded like some magic device, they could have just called it a Bike GPS 😆
