    Although I don't have a cadence monitor it would be better if I got me one. Many bike improvement/training programs give you candence instructions. In my training it says that I should drive at least one training each week with a cadence of 100 (and that's really fast stuff) combined with a certain heart rate region. Look at lance what he was able to achieve with cycling at a high cadence.

    I now have only a heartrate wristwatch mounted on my bike (a simple sigma). I tried to add a bike computer which measures speed but I hated it. I felt like keeping my current speed was more important then my heartrate, while it should be the other way around. And I was allways messing with the magnet to get it to measure something and when it did measure something it gave a ticking noise when climbing ... so after 2 weeks I removed the damned thing.

    Maybe in time I will get the polar cs100 since it mounts so nicely on the steeringpen and I then got it all in one.

    another q

    HI,

    I've been looking at purchasing the Polar CS200cad and am wondering if anyone else uses one.

    Please let me know.

    Off to wander around the Polar site.

    I've been on the fence about this for several weeks. I want to get a heart rate monitor, and at first I just wanted it to be simple and easy to use.

    But then I realized I really should have a computer on my commuter for fun statistics purposes , so then I could put my road bike computer on the commuter, leaving me able to buy a really cool computer with cadence for the road bike. Which means, why not also buy one that has heart rate?

    Way too many choices.
