Sorry to keep pummeling this forum with post after post, but I am stumped.

Based on everyone's sound advice, I want to get a cyclometer with cadence.....but I ride at least 2-4 times a week very early in the morning when it is dark.

I simply cannot find a cyclometer that has a backlight .. AND has cadence.

If it exists, one you folks will know about it. Can you help ?

I don't know about back-lit computers, but I think there is a company that makes a small light you attach to the bars that illuminates your computer. Check Colorado Cyclist or Nashbar, they might have it in their catalog.

Check out the Polar S series. I use the Polar S-710 with the optional wireless cadence sensor. I really love it because it works great. It also has a button you can push that will turn the back light on for a few moments. Also Colorado Cyclist has a Sigma light that you can use for any computer. Check it out at:

Good luck,

I don't know how I missed it. You guys came through again, now I can go buy that Cat Eye Astrale computer, and use the Sigma lite that I just bought from Nashbar to light it.

Awesome - thanks again, what would I do without this site ?
