No cadence=no deal.

I agree with that Catrin.

My DH is a geocacher and he loves the Garmin. I don't know what Garmin's have for cyclists but it's impressive, by all reports. At this point, I think what I've learned is that I'll probably go for somethng entry level and learn more later.

And I agree that the add ons to the Borntrager Node 1 seem kind of "gouge
-y". Why else would you spend that like $130+ if you didn't want some extras you would expect with a bike computer of that category.

But based on the answers to this thread there doesn't seem to be a lot of single clear answers (just like bikes themselves). So I am ready to have a bike computer but not ready to shell out big bucks. Let see, there's a word for that? Maybe more than one?
