Cycle computer: what is it for?
If you are a fan of the world of bicycles, you surely know it, but if you are not and you are looking for information to make a gift, (for example) It will be good for you to familiarize yourself with how it works.
Cyclists love numbers. Know the distance traveled, average speed, maximum speed and similar data. The vast majority of cycling fans compete against themselves and for that it is important to have data. A cycle computer is a device that measures all these variables (and some more depending on the models).
Here's how it works: Every time a magnet from the wheel passes the sensor on the fork, a signal is created. The computer measures the time that elapses between these signals. These signals help the device to figure out the speed based on the wheel size provided to it when setting up the cycle computer.
Once it has the speed data, the device can offer other references such as average speed, distance, travel time and the maximum speed reached by the cyclist.
High-end cycling computers can also tell you if you're riding below the average speed (which you've previously given to your device). In this way they act as a kind of electrical helper to cover your objectives.

High-end devices also offer functions such as a heart rate monitor or heart rate monitor or even the maximum oxygen consumption and recovery time of the cyclist (for example, the Garmin Edge 520 cycle computer offers these characteristics).
How to choose cycling computers?
Just like you have cheap, mid-range and top-of-the-range smartphones, the same thing happens with cycling computers. The criteria to choose depends on each user, if for example you only want to know the distance traveled.
Average speed, calorie consumption and elapsed time you can find cycle computers for less than 22 euros. They are very easy to install and the battery lasts a long time. However, if you are demanding and looking for a more complete cycle computer, then we go for thehigh or medium-high range with brands such as Garmin or Lezyne.
These high-end devices connect to your mobile, and are like a kind of mini computer. They are compatible with ANT + sensors such as radar or lights. They measure cadence, speed, heart rate, have a screen that you can view in all light conditions.
The upper mid-range computers are true assistants for the cyclist, you can even set your goals and the computer will provide you with statistics. You can follow your progress, and they also provide you with data on oxygen consumption and recovery time after the race. Important information to know when you should rest.
