At the beginning of last year I replaced my broken computer for one that had the cadence monitor. I used to just stare at the thing and suffer trying to keep my cadence up. I finally just quit looking at the cadence and started enjoying my rides more. I usually don't look at it much until the end of the ride. I log all the info after my rides. I've found that the cadence info really is pretty useless. It shows avg. cad. and max. cad. Well the avg. cad. takes into account the time you are coasting. So this info is pretty useless isn't it? Seems like the manufacturers should make it to where it doesn't register if cadence is zero. Otjerwise you really don't know what your real average cadence is.

So how do you use your cadence monitor? Seems like it would only be useful if you are doing interval work...which I haven't been able to bring myself to do. I still just go out and ride. Every time I think about a "training ride" it seems like the fun is sucked out of it.
