I grabbed the cheapest reasonable looking iGPSport bike computer/tracker from aliexpress years ago. Didn’t have Garmin money. It did the job. Had excellent battery life. Stored my tracks. Connected with heart rate and cadance monitor. The device registered as a storage device over USB and could just copy the gpx files off the thing. There’s also android app that syncs over Bluetooth and with chinese igpsport web site (and can link to strava). Any how it was a bit hacky, but a cool relatively cheap device. Sadly I havent used it in years. Not sure about current igpsport devices. Maybe they will still do simple USB file transfers (if you want to stay offline), maybe not. Something to check out maybe. Not a huge investment.
