I am a weanie!
I have and use my polar HRM with wireless cadence and velocity mount thingys. I really love it. Great way to monitor and keep track of all kinds of info. I set the display for heart rate and cadence. I don't really care about speed or that other stuff when I am on the bike. I only mount the watch when I am using my fixed for training.
When I just cruise for fun I leave the watch off the bike. I still catch myself trying to see my heart rate and cadence occasionally.
