I can use this product to attach to my existing road bike on an indoor trainer, to track distance etc. - correct?

Yes, I use this with my indoor trainer. I track cadence, speed and miles. Works great for me.

Not really because the watch is primarily meant to monitor distance covered in a specific period of time with the additional heart monitor which is paired with the watch. What I'm trying to say is that there is nothing wrong in using it for non-running cardio workouts, but if you do, you ignore other functions this product offers and therefore should maybe look for a different solution.

My honest answer is it won't work, even placing this on the back wheel of actual bikes. If you place the sensor and the magnet on the back wheel with spokes, and the computer itself in front of you on the handlebar, the distance is too far out of range. The signal generated by the sensor and magnet won't reach the computer.

Its clearly intended for front-wheel installation and states the transmitter distance is only good for the shorter range. That said, I have three bikes with rear wheel sensors working without problems.

I thought you needed an Ant + device, like one of the garmin bike computers. I paired this with my Garmin 500. I have this on my MTB and the older GC-10 cadence monitor on my road bike. Both bike profiles are in my Garmin 500, and they work just fine. Not sure if you can just use this with an app.

possibly. if you mean the type of spin bikes found at most gyms, it might be difficult attaching the magnet to the wheel and also attaching the remote sensor just opposite the magnet on the bike frame. if you are able to do that, then it might work.

If you're a heavy-duty cyclist, they have products specifically for cycling where you can enter the bike's weight and all sorts of other data, but as you've already discovered this can also be used for cycling. We've also used ours on hikes to measure how far we've walked. Can have some trouble getting a signal in some areas of the woods, though.

Yes, I use mine on a road bike and find it very useful. I carry multi-tool, spare tube/repair kit.

Theoretically it could be attached to the right side of the bike which would be nice if you are biking on the side of a road to keep you dog away from moving traffic. However, the issue is with the chain of the bike and the gear transmission you may or may not have on the bicycle you are looking to attach it to. The attachment of the leash needs the < "A angle" by the wheel to fit to. So it really is only a matter of how your specific bike is. Great product though, and definitely worth the money! Let me know if I can help you with anything else.

I have not tried it on a bike of any kind and ask my colleagues who have one and they havn't either. It is not GPS oriented, for that you might want the app "map my walk" which also does bikes/stairs etc."

The display unit doesn't work very well and it's not usually accurate so if measurement is important to you, I'd find something reliable to use because the one on the bike is not it. FYI: Everything else about the bike is great!

I have not tried with indoor bikes but it is the same as any other ant+ hrm and should work.

Yes, I use it on my road bike. I carry my keys, ID, cell phome and a protein bar. I am satisfied with this product.

i use it when i ride my bike. but like Sean Palmeter answered, it will not track your info right it helps but not accurate. i would reccomend going on polarusa.com and look at the products for cycling. i hope i helped you.

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.

Yes, I use it myself to track my soccer performance. Even better if you combine it with the heart tracking and the gps watch.

I currently use it with my Strava app with Bluetooth at the same time I am running Ant+ with my MapMyRide app. The data has been consistent and reliable using Ant+ with while road cycling and Trainer cycling. I am not sure if compatible with gym machines. I hope this helps.
