Posted
by
TomTom RIDER | £349.99 | www.tomtom.com | Tested by John Milbank I always believed that bikes should have the minimum of fussy tech on them – for me, riding is about freedom, so the last thing I wanted was something telling me what to do; more buttons to press; and extra clutter on my machine.
