Looking for a wireless computer with a wireless cadence function. Are there any of these beasts out there? I'd also like it to be able to swap between bikes. Recommendations? Goods, others? Thanks.

I have a Polar S720i that has all that plus a whole lot more. It's not cheap by any means but my wife gave it to me for Christmas and I love it. If you have a set of magnets for each bike it's not too much trouble to switch out the sensors. Or you could buy the extra sensors and just move the main unit over.

Vetta's V100 (http://www.vetta.com/wirelesscadence.htm) is fully wireless.
Mavic's WinTech (http://www.mavic.com/servlet/srt/mavic/road-prod_fiche?product.id=83&lg=uk) is also fully wireless and--nice touch!--integrates the pick-ups in the skewers.
Apart from these two, I do not know of any 'pure' wireless-including-cadence-cycloputers. I think the alternative would be a fancy (and even more expensive :( ) heart rate monitor/weather station/bike computer (plus accessories) from Polar, as suggested by Bluechip, or Ciclosport (http://www.ciclosport.de/) (the HAC-4 comes to mind).
I have never tried any of these. I currently use a wiredSigma BC1600 (http://www.sigmasport.de/index_e.html). What is good about it is the nice display, the possibility to mount it on both the bar and the stem and its reliability during rainy rides (of which I am having plenty :mad: ).

Try Excel Sports. (More than likely it will be on back order though...)
