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

Computer help

I am looking for a cycle computer. I would like to have a wireless with cadence. I have spent the vast majority of my budget on my new bike, shoes, and pedals. That means I am looking for the least expensive option. Any help will be appreciated.

A Cateye V2C is already $100 or more. Might just as well get a Garmin 500 with HRM and cadence for $250.

Bikes: Some bikes. Hell, they're all the same, ain't they?

Why wireless? There are some wired cadence computers if you're willing to run a wire. I'll probably get one myself for my next computer just to have fewer batteries to worry about.

I'm happy with it altough lately evry minute or so it shows 0 km/h and cadence 0 for a couple of seconds, then it goes back to normal.
I might try contacting their customer service, I heard is very good.
