Can you add a computer to this cycle? I need to be able to track distance and calories.

I haven't done it, but I'd assume that anything that tracks from wheel rotations could be added. Not sure how it would clip without a spoke though.

I have yet to find a way to put a computer on this bike, or any spin bike really. They make bikes that already have the computers. If that's something you really want I would pay the extra and get the bike with the monitor. This bike is quite noisy too.

Yes. Calories is one of the items it monitors and shows on the screen. I've never ridden with it displayed, though. I usually have the 'clock' or 'distance' on display.

It calculates calories based primarily on weight and distance (with an age adjustment, I believe). It uses relatively simple formulas just like a treadmill. That's fine for running and walking. It's not going to do much for you in most other workouts.

You can, but I never figured it out. This thing is so simple, after you register on their website-you hook it up to your computer-then when you finish wearing your watch for the day-you lay your watch face down & it uploads your data. You just have to put your activity name to keep track of the different things you do.

Yes, it tells the amount of calories burned. It tracks steps, distance, calories burned, and fat burned.

Not sure if I understand your question. You can set the auto lap interval to any distance you want. So for cycling you can make it for two or three miles. Just a word of warning, there is no cycling function on this watch yet. I assume They will add it during an update, but it is strictly running now.

Not at all! Although most of my testing is on stationary bike (with considerable instrumentation) neither stationary nor real bike even gets the calories burned to budge. Even pushing 200+ Watts and sweating like a pig, nothing. Without footsteps it records nothing. Now, interestingly - after hard bike workout then I can get on treadmill at minimum speed and zero incline and it records medium intense activity, where I'm clearly loafing. It also records elliptical at much lower rate than actual expenditure. Basically I think it's a glorified pedometer only slightly sensitive to energy usage. And customer support doesn't even respond to any queries about these issues.

I've not been able to get my TICKR to link up with the Schwinn ANT+ cycle computer's they have at my gym. How do you go about getting this to work?

Mine does, Amazon sells an inexpensive Sunding wired cycle computer with heart rate monitor calorie counter and sensor belt for under $30. You need to be a little handy or know someone who is.. The 2 zip ties that come with the cycle computer to mount the sensor are designed for a standard bicycle fork. Some 11" zip ties, a little piece of wood 1" by 2" and some epoxy to glue the wheel magnet about mid fork was all I needed.The heart rate monitor is great, a 10 degree turn of the B901 resistance adjuster raises my heart rate 6 BPM with the factory gearing.

Very easy. With the VIRB software, you can sync your GPS data (plug in the Edge 1000 into your USB port), and the software gives you a list of fit files to choose from. Select it, then locate on the video to match the distance on the ride, and you are all set. It has about 9 templates made for cycling, with heartrate and cadence included among them.

Calories yes! But the heart rate you need an ANT or Bluetooth HR monitor in addition to this device. I have to advise in good conscience that I returned this device TWICE after weeks of trying to make it work. The issue was the wildly off distance and GPS readings, it would under-report by a couple of miles, the motorolla customer support didnt have a clue why its happening. I returned the original one with the hopes the replacement will work but same issues. Its a shame, the device is beautiful.

It depends on what devices you're going to be using. Garmin's cadence/speed sensors, and heart rate straps use ANT+, and seem to be the most common. If that's the case, this is what you'll need to pair your computer to the ANT+ devices, and allow you to use them with Trainer Road. It's also possible that the sensors you're going to be using are capable of Bluetooth Smart (BT 4.0). If that's the case, your computer may already be equipped to handle them. Wahoo Fitness makes cadence/speed, and heart rate sensors that are both ANT+ and Bluetooth 4.0 compatible. For more info, check out Trainer Road's "Getting Started" page.

Yes I think it only work on running because the GPS tracks ur movement and calculates the amount of calories used for that distance, speed, and time.

These answers seem to contradict the listing and the advertising on the Jarv's box which says "Tracks heart rate, distance, pace, and more!" Also, if you use Runtastic Pro, you can use the the History Add function to download length of time and Calories burned, so will the right app download more?

No, but the ability to log your activities has a section where you can chart non-walking activities. If your bike is at the gym you should be able to estimate how many calories you burn, as most gym bikes have this. Then enter it as an activity along with the calories and you can make it a "favorite" so you can enter it each time.

Oh. I've been riding 30-40 minutes twice a day. In the morning I read/respond to email and drink my morning coffee and in the evening I read student submissions and web articles. The computer may be off [I have no way of testing it], but the timer is close to what the stopwatch on my watch says, and if the rest [speed, distance, calories] is within 10% of accurate that's fine with me. I think that they are close though.

I don't believe it's meant to be used for tracking a whole day's calories, only because you tell it when to start and then you have to hold the button down for it to take your heart rate and update. I stopped using it not long after I bought it. The batteries don't last long, which means it doesn't track correctly at times and loses the info.
