  21. Have had my forrunner 505 for about 2 months and love it, but want to know how to use it in the gym, specificly at the excercise bikes? I know polar and Suunto sync with the gym excercise bikes to show your hr and zone and allows you to do fitness test but seems the Ant + of the garmin doesnt?
  22. fine im. Mtb er but i cycle on the road in the week and the reason we are seen this way is due to cyclist. At least once a week i see a roadie skip a traffic light or stop without even looking. This morning again a boner on his bike came flying through a red light..
  23. had the same and took it back after a day... Have to mount watch or it doesnt work ... Very happy with my garmin
