this device will work with the iphone to read your running strides. it will not work as effective with a bike as the iphone will scan the running stride angle to estimate your running distance. you can use it while riding as long as you run after riding. you may need to calibrate it a second time after riding a bike so the iphone can pick up the correct stride distance. for multi sport devices look into the Suunto Ambit2, with Foot pod/Bike Pod (sold separately). The Sunto watch is a multi useful machine that can be used for almost anything.

No. Essentially the sensor is a pedometer. Your foot needs to hit the ground.

Hello, THank you for your request. Yes indeed this unit should read the drive of your Ipod. Please let us know if we can help any further.

Are you sure the GPS on your phone isnt picking up the speed for you? Maybe the whole thing isnt pairing? If you put it inside on a trainer, you could determine that. Or disable the GPS on your phone. I use the ROAD BIKE PRO app for iphone, and it will tell you if the sensor is working or not (Green check marks). If its not, you unpair it and repair it.

Usually the little magnetic widget fits on the front wheel and the sensor on the front fork. As you front wheel is not rotating this would not work. If you put it on the rear wheel, the sensor maybe too far away from the meter on the handle bars.

I put a speed sensor on the back wheel last winter for time on the trainer. It worked well! I have not tried it on the road so I can not speak to that. The heart monitor would read 0 on occasion if I sat up straight for too long.

It is possible that you have it facing the wrong direction. The back of the device should face the outside, otherwise it will sense the interior movement rather than the exterior. Also, you must wait a few seconds until the device sounds a loud beep before the sensor will work. Hope that helps.

I don't know but I can't think of a reason it wouldn't as long as you can attach the sensor to a wheel fork (the two pronged metal piece that is part of the frame and holds the wheel) and the magnet to a spoke on the wheel. A regular bicycle on a stationary stand would work but perhaps not a stationary bike machine without a wheel fork and without spokes.

Yes. This is my second itouchless. My first one the sensor stopped working after about a year, but it is still a good product.

You should be fine ..... put the cover on then activate the alarm It work with motion or a jolt to the bike.I have the same alarm on both my bikes.

That's a really good question! I have no idea. Depends on where the sensor is.

It doesn't track. I think it senses the movement of your body. I've not been on a bike since I've had it.

Scott, all sensors for this product are wireless. Speed/Distance, Heart Rate, and Cadence. Mine Speed is mounted on the rear of the bike and it is working perfect so far... I purchased the Cadence, didn't arrive yet but I believe it will perform good as well... Heart Rate monitor is working good too, and it worked also when my wife went swiming ina pool.

Hello Cathy...CatEye works very well in any bike, but if you have a mountain bike it works well until the sensor being hit by a stone and this happened with all my CAtEye. If you can, do not hesitate to buy a gps for cycling, it is much pretty better!

We use with a kawasaki teryx. I have an iPod 4th generation that I use. The teryx goes about 50 mph and listen to music clearly.

I put the sensor inside a utility closet at the side of my house. It works great. I would think it would work just fine between a window and screen. Also, there is a round attachment on the back of the sensor that you could put a string around and hang it from that.

I have not gotten mine to work while bicycling. I even tried to put it in my sock but it still did not count. There does seem to be a certain jarring motion needed to activate the counting of steps. For example, when I do slow walking meditation it does not count these steps either. Regular steps are no problem.

The sensor does not come with a charger, nor need to charge it, in fact there's no way you could change the battery. I read on apple.com that once it does stop working you need to replace it with a new sensor. I know, it kind of sucks but that's the way it is. Hope you find the info useful
