BellaOnline Forums Sports Cycling Bike Mileage Computer

Do you have a mile tracker on your bike? One of my bikes doesn't have one and the other one has one with a dead battery I really like to know how far I've gone and how fast I'm going

I got the 2005 model at Sears - Pro Form XP 70 Exercise Bike.
It cost $249

I was given a new mileage computer as a gift and I'm yet to put it on my bike! It's a wired one and I'm having a hard time deciding between putting it on my mountain bike or continue to save it and put it on my road bike once it's up an running. (which I shall be commuting on, so it'll get more use there). Really looking forward to tracking my progress, I use a pedometer for my running and walking and it's invaluable to me, couldn't do without it!

That's great that you bought a stationary exercise bike, Bonnie!

In my query, actually I meant for a bike that goes out of the house I meant the mileage computers that you put on a bike that you ride around, to see how far you've gone. Something like this -

You put it on your handlebars and it judges your speed, distance, and other cool stats.

I have an old one I need to get a battery for but I'm wondering if I should just get a new one with more features ...

Kaye - my boyfriend was talking about us both getting wireless ones for that very reason. The one I have on my mountain bike right now is wired, and I don't have one for my road bike. I think he only has one wired computer for his three bikes (soon to be four bikes). So I think buying two new wireless models would be a really good idea.

Have you tried any wireless models?

Hi Lisa!

No, I've not had an opportunity yet to try out a wireless computer myself, but reckon it's worth investing in especially if you've more than one bike! And a must I'm sure if you've got as many bikes as you do in your household! I certainly think that makes the ability to use the computer on your different bikes so much easier.

When I�ve got my other bikes up and running, I'll be researching that further, and certainly try one out. What do you like to keep track of on your computer? I like to keep track of my distance and time most of all.

Well we've had the bike computer for a month and *still* haven't attached it yet. I'll try to get that done this week so we can test it out and report back on it.

I realize these posts are old, but I have a computer on my Cannondale Feminine Quick 3. It tracks everything except cadence. I first tried riding my husband's old road bike with clipless pedals. His old computer didn't work, so i bought a new one along with new tires and cables. After spending the money getting it ready, I decided that it was too big and I couldn't master the pedals. I had signed up to ride in the Tour de Cure for Diabetes. I am new to cycling and haven't found a good place to ride.

I think with all the cool GPS computers out there that I'll probably want to get a new one for this season. I'm excited to see what is out there! I'm a GPS fiend

I have a wireless computer on my bike - I love tracking how far and how fast I'm going, and regularly compare my average speeds. GPS would be cool, though. I might have to look into that, although where I live in Alaska we have so few roads it's hard to get lost!
