me
I am planning on buying an indoor bicycle trainer so that i can ride my bike it my house when it is too cold out. I want to keep track of my speed and how far i am going, so figured i would get a cheap Bell one. I am just curious is it will work since it is a different set up. Thanks for your help!
Answer
It will work, but you have to install the sensor on the rear wheel, the only one that spins. The wireless computers sometimes don't get the signal from the back, so get a wired one. A cheap one will work but get one with cadence counter. That is a very important tool for your training. It will tell you cadence, current speed, average speed speed, max speed, distance for the ride, distance for the week, total distance (odo), and time. I use a cateye. since there are two sensor, one for the wheel and one for the crank, you may want to see if the shop will install it for free or a small fee. If you don't have a trainer yet, I recommend the Kinetic by Kurt fluid. It mimics going in a slight incline. I paid less than that at my local bike shop.

Does anyone know a website that I can use to download my information. I attend 24 hour fitness.
Answer
Have you tried to open it on your computer ? I would look up the manufacturers manual for that piece of equipment and see what you can do with it. They may have a program so you can view it with your computer. Or just ask the fitness center.
