For just speed, distance and cadence, I got the cateye strada double wireless. I like that both speed and cadence are handled by one piece. As a novice, I find myself paying attention to the cadence all the time. I'm not hardcore enough (yet) to need the more advanced stuff. $69 on amazon, http://www.amazon.com/Cateye-CC-RD40...1547883&sr=8-3
