I bought two edge 130 I followed user manual to extend battery life. No sensor, gps only, minimize back light. Battery lasts 7 hours rather than 15. Battery pooped out on death ride. Cant imagine it will last for LOTOJA. What gives.

The Edge 130 is all you will ever need. For the average biker like me (60 to 80 miles each week iIt gives you all the information you need to chart your progress or lack there of.

I had my doubts about purchasing this under $200 Garmin Edge device, but as of right now, I have zero regrets. Small, but yet so powerful and the battery life is remarkable. Two thumbs up and its the most simplistic and best liked of all my bike cyclocomputers. Yep, and I own a huge Edge 1030 as well.

The Garmin Edge 130 does everything that I need. The real reason for this purchase was so that I could see gradeslope of the hills I was climbing. I have some steep hill climbing rides coming up and I wanted to know what I was training on so that I would feel confident for the upcoming rides

Good timekeeping & distance. I've compared the Edge 130 to my 2 smartphone apps & it has more options that add useful details.

I use it for commuting, training, club rides, century rides. I like the elevation and grade - have not tried the gps route instructions yet

I have an Edge 530 and was getting this for my wife who rides casually. I let her borrow my 530 before the 130 arrived and she loved the functionality of the 530. Once she got the 130, she was underwhelmed. The main issue she had was with Varia Radar. On the 530, it's much larger, the colors change to indicate the speed at which cars are approaching and flashes green when you're in the clear. The 130 just can't match that.
I would use this for mountain biking to have some basic features and I wouldn't be as worried about beating it up, but for road cycling, it left me wanting a little more.

I'm old school and like to have a dedicated bike computer. This unit packs so much data and capability in a small, compact unit that I imagine would be perfect for just about anything anyone wold want to do on a bike. Plus with the sync and download abilities, you can review everything from your ride on your phone, laptop or desktop.

1. Need the Garmin Connect app to change the default Edge 130 display.
2. The buttons activate while wearing bike gloves.
3.Garmin needs a more thorough operation manual and explain every heiroglyphic that is displayed.

I like the small form factor, easy to sync, easy digital readout. The only issue is that it is not accurate for tracking distance which is the primary usage of this device

Great cyclng computer, reminds me of thr old Garmin 500. Straight-forward and easy to use. It provides enough data for what i want, without paying a lot more for stuff i will never use.

I use this product to record my cycling - Mostly road but sometimes trail riding. It is so easy to use especially with its seamless compatability with Strava.

Great product, like the small size however still displaying all data. Like the simplistic look with so many build in features.
