| Looking for a basic bicycle computer? |
|
|
 Our most basic model is the Sigma Sport BC506 cycling computer. It is designed for ease-of-use and features large buttons and a large display for easy reading. The basic functions are all there too - you can track your distance, your speed or the time.
If you're looking for something a little more advanced, take a look at the Vetta RT55. It has a few other features like a ride timer and average speed.

Measuring cadence can help you find an optimal gear and reduce fatigue |
 Essentially, having cadence is just like having a tachometer - they both measure RPM (revolutions per minute), and if you're registering high RPM's, you'll want to shift to a higher gear to make it easier on your legs. For an in-depth review of cadence and gearing, read this article.
For a good mid-level computer with cadence, we recommend either the Vetta RT77 or the Cateye Strada with Cadence.

Are you cycling for your health as well as recreation? |
 If so, you'll want a computer capable of monitoring your heart rate and calories burned.
The Cateye CC-HB100 will do both of those things, but is not wireless. The Vetta V100HR is a popular wireless heart rate cycling computer with many other perks, but if you want a wireless heart rate cycling computer that will also count calories, the Cateye CC-HR200DW will be a good fit.
|
Do you want to be wireless? |
 The Vetta RT88 and Cateye Micro Wireless are basic computers with wireless capabilities. If you're looking for wireless models loaded with features, you'll want to look at the Vetta V100 or the Cateye V2C computer.
|
Are your rides extreme? |
 The Sigma Sport BC 2006 MHR cycling computer has everything. Aside from functions like speed and heart rate, the BC 2006 measures altitude and temperature and would be invaluable to serious mountain bikers. It also has a hiking mode for your off-bike treks.
