Yes you can. The 500 can be pre-loaded with the details of both bikes.

You will need a second cadence sensor , which can be bought separately, if that is important to you.

Yes. You get two attachments with it. You can by more bike attachments if you want.

Absolutely. You will need to purchase the mounting bracket and Cadence and speed sensors separately to fit to your other bike - the Garmin computer is then easily interchangeable.

Yes you get two setups and it fits to the second bike in a matter of minutes. You can't use the cadence counter on the 2nd bike unless you buy another cadence sensor kit

Yes but need another mount and cadence/speed sensor

Yes, but if you are going to save time not fitting and refitting the sensor you would need to buy another.

Yes you can. The Edge allows you to set up multiple bikes so that you can select the one that you want when you ride. It also comes with two bike mounts which makes it easier.

Yes it comes with two mounts and plenty of rubber bands. Being GPS you can use the speed function without the sensors mounted on your other bike

Yes, as long as you have the sensor installed on both bikes. It lets you configure it for more than one bike. I don't think it can it automatically switch the bikes based on the installed sensor's serial number.

Yup - you can program multiple bikes into it & just tell the garmin which bike your on. You get 2 mounts in the box (to leave on the bikes) & can buy more seperate!

Yes. The head unit can be programmed for multiple sensors. Get a GSC-10 pack for your second bike for speed/cadence.

The bike-switch menu option is annoying to use - it irks me having to push ten buttons just to change bike - but it's only annoying once per ride.

sure.

yes

It does not have a constant backlight since that would drain the battery. But there is a button you can press to get a backlight for a few seconds.

yes

It does have a backlight function. I am not sure if it stays on continuously, though. There is probably a way to do it, I just haven't figured it out yet.

Yes it has a backlight and you can customise the amount of time this is illuminated.

Yep this does have a backlight but not used in dark so cant comment how efective it is.

Yes it does but is not very bright.

I find I always charge using the USB cable

No it arrives with every plug type you need and also charges from a usb cable so can charge from computer, iPhone plug etc

You will need an AC adaptor to convert it to the oz plugs otherwise you can charge it on the computer via the USB cable

Yes, Australian point is not included, however you can charge it via your PC

Yes. I happen to have an adapter from a foreign camera I bought so used this for the initial charge. However, I've since only ever used my computer to charge the device.

Charging is via the USB cable supplied

I don't use the adaptors to charge it, I just use the usb cable here in Aus :)

I charge mine via the USB cable on the computer - no adapter necessary, but the wall plug with USB output works perfectly too.

yes it does, has join so dont have to climb into it, bit like a bra, but with easy clip for men !!

Yep.

yes

If it says it comes with HRM and Cadence sensor than yes, you will get the HRM strap with it.

yes

Yes, if you buy this unit. The other (cheaper) unit, does not include the Heart Rate strap or cadence sensor.

Yes. If you buy the Edge 500 heart rate and cadence pack you get the Edge 500,
heart rate monitor, and speed & cadence sensor. Well worth the extra money! :D

If you buy the version with them, then yes, it all comes packaged together!

Purchased as a bundle

Yes, they com with that package.

You get it all with this package, you must purchase the one advertised as garmin 500 bundle.

Came with them

You get them.

Depends which one you buy.... you either buy them seperate or as a package...... just read through all the details!

Once you've uploaded your data to the Garmin site, you can see your cadence, heart rate, elevation, etc. at any point along your route.

you see the course when you download it on your computer in garmin training center

Yes, this is exactly what it does. It maps out your ride in increments with elevation, heart rate, distance, etc.

Yes this does track your route and maps it once loaded up to the garmin connect website. Once up there you can see speed, distance, altitude, HR and cadence

You cannot load courses into this device.

You download the data into the Garmin supplied software - or one of the many free applications available on-line. You can then see your route, distance, time, elevation and speed. You can also export the data to Google Earth and see exactly where you have been.

Absolutely, look at Garmin Connect and you will see the info you get. With the HRM and cadence sensor you get speed, elevation, cadence and hear rate

There are no geographical restrictions. My UK-bought Edge 500 works fine here in Melbourne.

However, Garmin Australia will not service or support an imported unit; service or warranty would mean shipping it back to the UK.

It's identical to the ones available here in aust. however aust. power plug piece isnt included. It is not at all region specific.

yes no problem

I use mine in Japan. Went back to States on vacation. Worked fine. Picked up satellites and tracked my route, no problem.

I'm in Victoria and GPS on Edge 500 is working fine - maps really well on Google Earth. However, only US/UK/Euro plugs are supplied, but I've been charging mine through the PC USB port.

It work with the satellites ,so where ever you are there is no problem

Come with 3: UK type 3 legs, Japan type 2 thin leg , and a 2 round legs (like France?)

I don't use the ac adapter as none were compatible with australian sockets, i just use the usb cable with my laptop. It charges whilst i load my information.

US, Europe and UK (no Australia). But you'll probably end up charging it from your computer's USB port anyway.

US / UK but with a travel adapter we use it in Australia or just charge it via the PC

I bought mine from Wiggle and it came with UK and Euro charger plugs. But mostly I charge it via USB.

yes rear wheel for wind trainer

The speed and cadence sensor are built into the same detector that you mount next to your rear wheel. You put a magnet on your rear wheel and then you put the cadence sensor on your crank on the same side and align everything and it works.

So, yes, it is on the back wheel.

you can run without the speed sensor, as the GPS will work out the speed from the satellites.

GPS aerial is sensitive enough to keep the lock on the sattelites in most areas....unless you are under trees or in tunnels most of the time.

Yes, this mounts on the chain stay and provides speed, distance and cadence.

Yes

yes

Yes

Yes
