Heart rate monitors

Exercising while using a heart rate monitor can give you important health information.

There are several heart rate monitors at Bike Nashbar.

Of the non-cyclocomputer ones, Suuntu is the only one with download feature

This Sigma looks adequate for my needs

Polar is the industry leader, so far as I can tell. This basic HRM looks like it would meet my needs

  1. You can have my polar HRM for free. I never use it b/c the strap doesn't fit women. I had to buy a special bra, which chafes horribly. So I only used it twice.
