Trainer & cyclometer

Poet! that's genius. Esp since I have an old Bell spinfit sitting out in the garage attached to my old beater bike. You and Joe both rock.

In my enthusiam, I moved the bell over at lunch. Seems to work perfectly. I put the base unit on the seatpost. So I can probably sneak a peak at it when I want. Not when I'm on the road though. People will wonder what I'm looking at.

When we used a bike on a trainer, we set up a cycling computer to the rear wheel - that worked well.

We bought a spin bike last year which comes with its own computer (which does HR, speed, distance, average etc etc) ... but we added another so we could monitor cadence.

Susan,
I'm glad the rear wheel bike computer is working for you.
I know this was quite awhile ago, but I emailed Joe33 and asked him to send me a link to his blog with his trainer computer mount and he answered me right away - but my email decided he was spamming me and hid the email
so, if anyone else is interested, this is a neat idea of Joe's to mount a cheap computer to your trainer to see training miles.

Thanks Poet. My cheapo computer is on the seat post, where it can be ignored or not.
