Heart Rate Percentage iOS App

Submitted by johnvic on Wed, 03/25/2015 - 10:18pm

I recently bought a Wahoo heart rate sensor to work with my iPhone. It's working fine but I want to display Max HR % so that I can follow a cycling DVD and adjust my workout intensity. I don't want to program a workout, that's why I have the video.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Best place to sell bike

Submitted by ty111 on Wed, 03/25/2015 - 3:48pm

I have a couple of really nice bikes I want to sell, and I am leery of Craigslist. Other than here, where has anyone had a good experience? eBay? Pro's Closet? LBS?

 

Thanks.

 

Winter Duds on Sale

Submitted by CWaaser on Wed, 03/25/2015 - 3:22pm

I was at Sid's Bikes today (19th St. east of 7th Ave.) and noticed they have a deep sale on a lot of winter clothing.  I think arm warmers & knee warmers were up to 75% off.  (Probably other shops are also having sales.)  So all you new cyclists who don't have an adequate supply of winter gear, now's the time to stock up.  You'll still need it for a few more weeks (you didn't really think it was going to warm up this spring, did you?), and then you'll have it in the fall when it starts getting chilly again.

Intro-to-Racing Clinics

Submitted by Lucia on Wed, 03/25/2015 - 8:27am

Hi there,

CRCA is once again holding Intro-to-Racing Clinics for Men and Women (separately) for anyone wanting to give bike racing a try on Saturday, April 25th. No previous racing experience necessary. We will also have free information sessions prior to each clinic for you to ask any quesitons you may have and you can attend these whether or not you attend the racing clinic.

For those participating in a SIG, we will also have a second round of Clinics in June!

Details available at:http://www.crca.net/2015-mens-and-womens-race-clinics/

About  three weeks ago I   was  cycling  up    the  Bikeway   (which was    pretty  empty  as it was  one of those  days  when the  wind-chill  factor  was -10 degrees), on a  week-day   mid-morning.

Bike Computer Recommendation

Submitted by John Dutt on Tue, 03/24/2015 - 5:48pm

 I am looking for a good basic bike computer that will give me turn by turn directions on routes that i can download from Ride With GPS. I don't need fancy bells and whistles - e.g., heart rate or cadence or watts, etc - I just want to see where I am going on a map and know when to turn so I don't have to go blind reading a cue sheet. What do you recommend? Thanks.

Prescription Eyewear

I have recently sustained an eye injury and am looking to invest in a good pair of prescription sunglasses to use while riding. Any suggestions? Where to get them from? Thanks!
