I’m Marcus, your host here at Garmin’s training video series.
Here at Garmin, your passion is our inspiration.
And if your passion is cycling, well we’re right there with you.
For some, cycling may be less about training and more about the exercise and escape from the daily grind.
Maybe you currently use a Smartphone app and you’re ready to graduate to a cycling computer,
and maybe you want an affordable yet functional device.
If that’s you, keep watching.
Because today, I want to tell you about the Garmin Edge 130 – a compact, easy-to-use GPS bike computer.
Not everyone that rides is a performance athlete.
You may only ride once a week or ride shorter distances.
You may ride on the road or on the trails, but you like a challenge and like to explore.
Even someone just coming into the sport wants a compact device that goes where you go and won’t weigh you down.
Well, look no further because the Edge 130 is for you.
The Edge 130 is compact with a simplified, rugged design.
And the 1.8” display is crisp and easy to read,
even in direct sunlight when you’d normally be squinting at your smartphone screen, allowing you to easily see your stats at a glance.
But don’t let its small stature fool you.
The Edge 130 is packed full of features.
Whenever and wherever you ride, we believe you want to navigate with ease.
So, we’ve included support from multiple satellite systems such as GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo.
Combine that with the built-in altimeter, and you’ll know how far, how fast, how hard,
and how high you’ve ridden on the trails, through the city, or anywhere in between.
But we didn’t stop there.
We’ve also included navigation features that give you turn prompts and a breadcrumb trail so you can see where you’ve been.
Hey, it even shows you how to get back to where you started.
It doesn’t get much easier than that.
From advanced rider to the occasional weekender, we’re all concerned about safety.
And let’s face it, a little peace of mind is going to make every ride that much better.
That’s why the Edge 130 is compatible with our Varia line of cycling awareness devices such as the rearview radar and smart bike lights.
By pairing these devices with your Edge unit, you’ll have more confidence than ever!
With the rearview radar, you’ll be alerted if cars are coming up behind you from up to 150 yards away,
right on the Edge.
That’s one and a half football fields folks!
Combine that with our smart bike lights and you’re riding at a whole new level, helping drivers to see you better.
We want you to feel safe, and our cycling awareness products will change the way you ride.
Man, I feel safer already!
We all know that when you ride,
you want to get away from the hussle and bussle of the world, but you also need to feel connected to your friends and family.
With the connected features of the Edge 130, we’ve got you covered!
When using a compatible mobile device,
you’ll be able to keep your smartphone safely tucked away and stay connected while you’re on your bike.
Text messages will appear right on the Edge, allowing you to see them at a glance and keep right on riding.
You can also get weather forecasts and alerts on the weather page, so you’ll know if you’re going to get rained out.
To top it off, the LiveTrack feature in this unit lets your friends and family follow you real-time.
And if you happen to run into difficulty on your ride,
the assistance feature lets you send your current location to chosen contacts so they will know where to find you.
How’s that for connected?
I told you that the Edge 130 was packed full of features and it’s got the battery to back it up.
You’ll get up to 15 hours of battery life in this amazing little unit,
allowing you to stay in the saddle longer and enjoy your ride.
Hey, you may not ride that much, but that’s ok.
It doesn’t mean you’re not a cyclist.
No matter your skill level, we want you to do what you love and love what you do,
and the Edge 130 is the perfect device to help you make that happen.
It’s about time you get instant data on your ride and automatic street cred with the Edge 130.
