"Much of the new tech is aimed at cyclists looking to improve their performance, starting with integrated Garmin Cycling Coach, which includes FREE plans based on course demands, and individual recovery patterns. Pair either head unit with a power meter and heart rate monitor and you'll get reasonably good coaching that adapts your training program based on progression, but that's just the start."
"Smart fueling alerts remind you to eat and drink based on fitness level, environmental conditions, and power output during structured workouts. Real-time weather overlays show wind direction and radar data, while new GroupRide features compare individual metrics against other riders in your group (so you know when to attack). For the tech geeks, pair them with electronic shifting and they'll show a gear ratio analysis with post-ride summary of time spent in each gear combination."
