GARMIN EDGE FOR TINKER
Tinker will use a Garmin Edge 510 GPS bike computer in his training over the winter from his home base in Southern California as he prepares for the 2014 marathon season. "We sent Tinker a Garmin Edge out front bike mount to use on his road bike to give him better forward visibility of his data", says Squire.
