I was wondering though, can you fit the sensors to the back wheel, rather than the front, as i have some hefty forks to contend with. Cheers. ive just ordered my cat eye strada.

One good point is the mount on the handelbars is so stiff that you can't get it off without spending ages. So I normally leave it on knowing that someone will probably give up before getting it off. I finally replaced my old sigma which had done 10 years when I got to work one day and it gave my top speed for the trip across London as 99.4MPH.

Can't remember the technical term for it, but am sure I've read it somewhere. I'd be loving that - as I have Tom Tom on the iphone and thats perfect but Google Maps comes a close second. Perhaps thats whats needed - thats the killer app? Isn’t there some sort of charger on the cards that charges whilst you cycle?

What I tend to do on the iPhone with gmaps is turn off 3G, wifi and put the brightness right down. I find then it usually lasts me a lot longer still not long enough for some of the rides. I'm half tempted to get myself one of those solar re-chargers if only they were a bit cheaper. It’s true no-one seems to have nailed the “GPS for cyclists” thing.

I love the equipment. Its very useful - has improved my cycling no end as I always have recorded heart rate, calories (inaccurate of course), mileage and time. Shame the GPS is poor - google maps on the iphone is much better... but that sucks battery life. Oh to be a cyclist :) Mmm.
