  1. Hello Group,

    I am not good at keeping a constant cadence. If the computer
    measures the cadence, caompares it to an upper and a lower
    limit, and sounds off, that would be nice. Are there such
    computers on the market?

    Thanks.

    Miles

  2. I saw the subject line and wondered if the OP was proposing a touring
    test...

    I think the new wireless Cateye does.

    That's a truly awful pun.
    I'm sorry I didn't think of it first.

    With a simple handlebar mount, you can just look at your bike computer to
    make sure you're within range. The problem, I think, with a sound
    generating computer is that you might not always be able to hear it due to
    wind noise generated by riding or anyother noise.

    That could be fixed by using a high voltage discharge device connected
    to the saddle to zap the rider whenever a cadence error occurs. Is
    this really a problem, and who cares? Why?

    Not being able to hear a sound or cadence going out of range? I think
    simply mounting the bike computer where it is easily seen is an easy
    solution for someone who wants to try to maintain cadence. I typically can
    monitor my cadence very easily this way.

    Well, it's not a problem for you or me, but apparently it is for the
    OP.

    Life is Good!
