This thread reminds me about the news stories of the people who have faulty GPS devices in their cars and follow the route instructions as the device leads them to drive right into a lake.

So three cars left to perform a concert at a nursing home.
Guess which two cars got there on time, and which one took a wrong turn?
Yep!!

We do not make fun of people using the latest in technology, but frankly if we do not see a 'need' for it we don't indulge.
We are the same old folks that tried clipless pedals for a thousand miles and switched back to toeclips. Yeah, and we switched from steel tandems to carbon fiber. Go figure!
Who us, worry??? Today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday!
Pedal on TWOgether!

A slightly different question about high HR readings...
When biking I sometimes see sporadic readings over 210....I always attributed those to electrical interference. But recently while performing "planks" in the gym, I noticed readings over 200. I can't do a manual check while holding myself up on my elbows. As soon as I relax the reading returns to somewhere around 115.
My question: can muscle activity affect the HRM? That is, since I am straining hard to hold myself in position, could that cause interference?

It can be, since cardiac output falls off as heart rate increases (less filling time between beats).
If you get a HR reading that worries you, the best thing to do is check your radial or jugular (only one side at a time!) pulse directly.
