"Serious" cyclists already own some kind of mid-to-high-end smartphone (because with billions of smartphones out there, the odds that serious cyclists don't own one are practically nil)
They probably already have "nice" bluetooth earbuds/headphones (whether AirPods, AfterShokz, or something else)
And they probably have a "good" smartwatch - Apple Watch, Fitbit, Garmin, etc
Why would they also buy a "dedicated" cycling device?
That makes absolutely no sense to me
A bike-countable cell phone holder is under $20
Maybe there's a really good reason to have yet another dedicated device ... but I'm at a loss to figure out what it is :)

- warrenm 5y agoA "dedicated" cycling computer, though, is about the same size as an iPhone Your iPad (even if it's the mini) is notably larger, and really comes-in at a point closer to laptop - but more portable :)
- exabrial 5y agoThat's exactly what I was thinking when I posted this! Honestly if Etube Ride had an "import gpx" feature it'd do nearly everything, and if it could display heartrate it'd be a complete package.
