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

Polar HRM strap
Can anybody confirm if a Polar HRM strap will be compatible with the Garmin Edge 500?

No, they are not compatible. Polar uses an encoded signal. Garmin uses ANT+.
