Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Hey I'm just getting into cycling and need an HRM. Does anyone know of any that are in the $30-60 range?

I just bought a Sigma Sports PC1600 from Performance Bike (local retail store) for $29.95 (less 20% discount also) - it was normally $75 - this is my third HRM and it is by far the best (others Polar S150 (terrible!) and Sports Instruments ECG-3).

I'd like to put in my input as what not to buy in that price range. 1. Sigma Sport PC3 and 2. Dbase db400. I have had problems with both of these.
