Cycling computer

Does anyone have a recommendation for a cycling computer? I Prefer the simplest one I can find that is wireless and has a cadence sensor. Ideally something that I can swap between bikes easily.


I don't want anything that does GPS navigation. GPS tracking that I can upload later is Ok though.


Price... Max $200 unless it is really awesome.


If only the knog nerd had a cadence sensor, that's what I really want. I hate screw on mounts for lights and accessories.

I have this:

Node 2

I think the Node 1 will do what you want as well and is just $60-ish and has settings for two bikes. No GPS at all.

i have CatEye computers on both my bikes and I haven't had a problem with them ever. Wireless, under $100, and easy to install and setup.

I use a Garmin Edge 500, and have for three years. GPS that you can upload later, cadence, wireless, easily set up on multiple bikes. With the speed/cadence sensor, you can find them on eBay for under $200.

Funny, I was looking for a cheap one on eBay. I mean cheap like $5.

Mine was new, unopened for $160. It has the old Garmin team color scheme (think orange and blue plaid) but it works.
