The Cyclo does a good job of guiding you from A to B. Your position on the map is as you would expect and you are alerted in an appropriate manner for upcoming turns if your route supports that. Here’s a pretty picture of it from the side. As you can see it’s ‘ bike computer sized‘ (68x114x18.6mm). The Cyclo 505 supports bluetooth and ANT+ heart rate monitor and bluetooth and ANT+ speed-cadence sensors. Plus it also allows connection to ANT+ trainers. Additionally connection to the Shimano Di2 unit (required) allows the user to see gear info during ride and all gear info is saved in history and a GPX file.

There is quite a bit of competition at this price point from the likes of Lezyne, Wahoo and, of course, Garmin. Additional personal data such as your location, gender, birthdate, height, weight when you use the Application or services;First impressions are excellent. As bike computers go, the Mio Cyclo 210 is an attractive piece of kit, and it’s easy to set up. In the box is the unit itself as well as a USB cable and a bike mount kit, essentially comprised of some cable ties and a few rubber bungs (or ‘stem mounts’ to use the technical term). If you are after a simple-to-use GPS unit with full mapping and turn-by-turn instructions without any faff, the Mio Cyclo 210 is a very good choice. Its large colour touchscreen and easy-to-navigate firmware shouldn't challenge even the most hardy technophobe, plus the battery life lives up to the claims.

I found it strange that RIDEWITHGPS is not linked to and supported. RIDEWITHGPS is a comprehensive route-creating tool. Sure you can do the basics of route creation in Mioshare really well but you can do much more in RIDEWITHGPS. I would imagine RIDEWITHGPS would have a large user base many of whom could be potential customers for MIO. MIOSHARE does create routes with a minimal number of route creation options however it does route creation well and would cover 90% of my navigational needs – although my needs are somewhat limited.More obvious, and potentially very useful, is the POI tile. Here you can see nearby locations in useful categories – emergency, bike store or food and drink – and it's pretty accurate. Handy in a pinch. Turn-by-turn navigation when riding a GPS route is excellent, with a nice countdown to a turn and graphically showing the junction too. Here is a hard section of the course in the formal test with the Cyclo 210 in red and the Polar Vantage V in blue. Both had similarly EXCELLENT results for the full BIKE MODE test. Don’t ask me about Google Maps Closing Thoughts
