Polar CS200 Cycling Heart Rate Monitors
The Polar CS200 Cycling Heart Rate Monitor wirelessly measures your current, average, and max speed on training rides, and the ECG heart rate uses Polar OwnCode to prevent cross-talk from other heart rate monitors in the Peloton. The CS200 uses an automatic display scroll to switch the info according to your preferences, remembers your last seven rides and the energy you expended throughout, and provides a graphical comparison of heart rate and speed. Arrows let you know when you're below or above average speed during your workout. Check the cycling economy feature before you start out to foresee your calorie expenditure, and use the web-based Polar Cycling Coach to help with your training program. *Included bike mount, multifunctional handle bar/stem installation, speed sensor installation for different fork shapes.
Bottom Line: The Polar training partner always gets its ass out of bed in time.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
Does this HRM include a chest strap/transmitter? thx!

Great mid-end cycling computer
By: Damon Salter

I went ahead and bought the CS200 CAD (plus cadence) model after various input from others. I have really enjoyed this computer so far. Mounting everything and setup was a breeze (I did read the manual). The display is large and presents a lot of information in a easy to read format. The training zones can be entered manually or calculated through the OwnZone feature and zone times are tracked on the computer. The heart rate strap is the most comfortable I have ever used and has a removable meter for washing. I always get a great heart rate read from this computer, an A+ HRM. I recommend the cadence reading unit which gives you a valuable additional dynamic to your training. The cadence is very accurate and has not been subject of interference so far. The unit itself is not integrated with the speed sensor and is rather large. So a B grade for the cadence sensor. The speed sensor is housed in a small and aero package. It is accurate against my gps and another computer. The speed sensor does have a short range though and can't be mounted on the rear wheel for indoor training. I have also found the speed reading to have interference from my blackberry and my ipod cannot be mounted within 3 inches of the computer head or speed reads weird. The interference is rare and I read several other review from 2006 - 2007 units have all kinds of interference problems. Apparently Polar has worked these old for the most part because other than other electrical devices close to the unit I have had no problems. Surprisingly the feature I have found most valuable is the ability to upload the data to Polar Fitness website. There I can track my workouts review data and plan custom or prepared exercise programs. Getting data to the computer requires you have a computer with a microphone and a quiet room because it works via sound like a modem. This was a little weird at first but once I got the hang of it, everything is great. The persona fitness coach software is the added valuable that sets this computer apart from others.

Is there a heart rate monitor that can be used to train and get fit on a stationary bicycle? What one do you suggest?

If you are only tracking heart rate and not speed, cadence, etc. then go with something a bit less expensive like the RS100. You can upload results to your computer and track your progress as well as using it for other activities.If the stationary bike is similar to to what you find in a gym it really isn't worth the trouble setting up the system on that kind of equipment. If the stationary bike is a bike that you can ride on the road and you are using it on a trainer then you could use something like this.

use this on my TT bike and love it,, have my Polar watch for the run leg of the Tri, this keeps my speed and heart rate in plain view to keep me from going too hard on the bike and having nothing left for the run and doesnt break the bank
This one does not come with the cadence sensor, which is usually an additional $25 to $35. Search for Polar cadence sensor CS series.
