I agree...cadence was interesting for a bit, but once I discovered that my cadence is pretty consistent I didn't care when I broke the bit that measured it by accident. Indeed I've now managed to lose the entire Garmin gps unit (a few years old and not used much anyway but still....).
I use the cheapest available wired units now because I'm only interested in my time on the bike and sometimes my distance. I keep track of my time on the bike as we have a goal at work having to do with fitness and essentially everyone is encouraged to 'exercise' two hours a week. By that standard I finished the entire year before the end of April and yes, I'm aware that bicycling doesn't constitute the only sort of exercise one can do - but it is easy to track. :-) Aloha, Bob On Mon, Apr 29, 2013 at 10:27 AM, Eric Platt <epericmpl...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm with Steve on this, no cadence for me, please.
