Satellite navigation has opened up new roads and new possibilities to the average car owner. What about travelers of the two-wheeled variety? Bicyclists rejoice! Mio has heard your pleas and answered them with the Mio Cyclo series of bicycle navigators.

Some days it’s just more fun to climb on and see where the bike paths take you. Not only will these compact personal navigation devices take riders to their planned destinations, the Cyclo’s new Surprise Me feature will put together a special bike route just for you.

Don’t let the Cyclo’s compact size fool you. The device’s robust waterproof construction takes the punishment of prolonged outdoor use, whether riding city streets, neighborhood paths, or heading to the hills.

The Cyclo 300 and 305 models come preinstalled with maps from Open Street Map and TeleAtlas. Each is compact enough to mount on your bike, while the robust non-glare screen makes it easy to read turn-by-turn directions.

Riding to stay fit? The Cyclo is the perfect training tool with built in calorie, distance, slope and speed monitors that allow you to record and share your fitness data. The Cyclo 305 even allows you to connect a heart rate and cadence sensor.

Mio Cyclo 300 and 305 hit store shelves in Europe this April with price points from 300 to 400 euros depending on model.
