Bicycle Speedometer And Odometer
Are there any bicycle computers that actually hook up to a computer (for trainer purposes)?
With the colder weather hitting, I’ve gotten myself a mag resistance trainer and moved my bike indoors. I have a cheap but decent enough bike computer (odometer, speedometer, etc.) that I now need to move to the back wheel, and get spacers for, etc. so it will be close enough to the magnet on the spoke. All that is fine.
But in the meantime, I was wondering if they made any (reasonably inexpensive) bicycle computers can that actually link to a laptop via firewire, USB or Bluetooth, so I can get nice big readouts and maybe even software that tracks your workout overall? If yes, but expensive, what are they anyway so I can take a look?
(Otherwise I’ll just use what I have!)
Mostly I just want a really big screen! I just hate having to squint to read numbers off a tiny 1″ screen!
(And oh yes, I need to get myself a regular tire. Everyone in the house laughs when they hear the knobby mountain bike tire wailing against the resistance wheel. Sounds like I’m taking off!)
I agree with McG, you won’t find any cheap ones!
