Hi Kristine,

If it's important that you keep track of your heart rate, I might have some suggestions for better pickup (or where to find reviews if you're thinking about replacing it) ... what type of sensor are you using, and when it doesn't work, what happens (weird readings, dropping off, not picking up initially, etc)?

I might recommend a cadence sensor too, if you're having trouble figuring out when to shift. Keeping your cadence in a range that works for you is one of the most direct ways to control your heart rate on the bike.

Maybe talk to your exercise physiologist about how "winded" it's okay to feel, vs what kinds of sensations might be signals to back off?
