Hi, I'm a new cyclist (returning after many years), 51 years old. I'm not in bad shape but I'm trying to get more fit and firm. I also walk regularly and do strength training 2-3 x/week.

Can anyone recommend a good HR monitor, not much over $100, with a comfortable chest strap for a woman with a large chest measurement (36DD)? I am not overweight but I would like to lose 10-15 lbs. (or the equivalent in fat loss) which will (hopefully) shrink that measurement down a bit.

I am also looking for a good, comfortable sports bra for cycling only (I don't run, and my everyday bra is fine for walking). I don't know if I'd need an underwire for cycling, but if so then I'd like a HR monitor with a chest strap that fits comfortably beneath the underwire.

I'm looking for recommendations for a good combination of the two.

Thanks,
Jen
