more intelligent computers

Hello Group,

I am not good at keeping a constant cadence. If the computer
measures the cadence, caompares it to an upper and a lower
limit, and sounds off, that would be nice. Are there such
computers on the market?

Thanks.

Miles

I saw the subject line and wondered if the OP was proposing a touring
test...

I think the new wireless Cateye does.

That's a truly awful pun.
I'm sorry I didn't think of it first.

With a simple handlebar mount, you can just look at your bike computer to
make sure you're within range. The problem, I think, with a sound
generating computer is that you might not always be able to hear it due to
wind noise generated by riding or anyother noise.

That could be fixed by using a high voltage discharge device connected
to the saddle to zap the rider whenever a cadence error occurs. Is
this really a problem, and who cares? Why?

Not being able to hear a sound or cadence going out of range? I think
simply mounting the bike computer where it is easily seen is an easy
solution for someone who wants to try to maintain cadence. I typically can
monitor my cadence very easily this way.

Well, it's not a problem for you or me, but apparently it is for the
OP.
