Could I use this on my bike? I realize the pace is not in mph but it would give me total miles and I can do the math in my head on those centuries :)

Yes, it should work on a bike and tells you your pace, i.e. 4 minute miles, 5 minute miles, etc. Should be easy math!
357214
can you use this doing cardio workout with the excepts of running, or righting a bike?

You can have it show speed (mph) instead of pace (min/lap distance). There's an option in the setup menu.

If you mean you want to know how far you walked that time, it certainly displays that information on the screen. But if you mean cumulatively over time, it doesn't display that. Like other users mentioned in the comments, I've had trouble syncing the thumb drive to my online membership. For some reason, it never transfers the data. But I go online after each use and plug my information in (which really only takes about a minute or two) and the online system has kept track of my information for over 2 years now. So I can see monthly, yearly, and overall data on usage. If there's a way to track cumulative distance on the treadmill itself, I don't know about it.

If you're a heavy-duty cyclist, they have products specifically for cycling where you can enter the bike's weight and all sorts of other data, but as you've already discovered this can also be used for cycling. We've also used ours on hikes to measure how far we've walked. Can have some trouble getting a signal in some areas of the woods, though.

I have not tried it on a bike of any kind and ask my colleagues who have one and they havn't either. It is not GPS oriented, for that you might want the app "map my walk" which also does bikes/stairs etc."

You could. But I dont see the point in that. I put it on a pocket rocket/moped for see how fast I was moving. If you calibrate it right you can see how fast and far you ride. I also used it on a 600 honda street/ trick bike, both application it worked well. Cuts out around 115 MPH. I recommend this product to anyone.

It's not based on the speeds of your bike. So if it works with your garmin gps it should be fine..

Yes, you can add to the speed by pedaling. It is approximately 5mph. I have a Garmin computer on it and I've reached 26mph. The gearing is such that in top gear I can still pedal faster than it's top speed.

While the watch is made for triathletes, it uses GPS in order to estimate your speed, distance. So yes, I think you could use this watch while riding a horse to calculate time, distance, speed, and your HR.

Technically you could use it as a watch, but I don't recommend it as a primary time keeper (for everyday use). The battery won't stay charged forever. You'll need to take it off and charge it every few days. My wife used it a couple of times in a pinch where she couldn't immediately find her regular watch, and not having something on her wrist was driving her nuts, so she wore her Garmin. She needed to charge it, but she eventually found her normal watch.

I have never used it for bicycling, only running, but it should be able to compute speed and distance travelled regardless of whether you are running or on a bike.

My wife's Speed D7 has gone down the 184 mile C&O; Canal twice. Once my wife rode it and the other time, I needed to borrow it, because the tire on my more expensive bike suddenly needed to be replaced and I was about to head out by myself. I am not privy to how much my delightfully plush wife weighs, but I imagine that if yours is not going to carry a lot of extra weight, she should be okay.

My VDO is programmed to read in miles. It can be set for either miles or kilometers. Resetting the data from the most recent ride, time, distance, etc. takes several button pushes on two different buttons. This in contrast to my Campagnolo ErgoBrain, which can be reset with a single simultaneous push on two buttons. There is a stop watch function, but I haven't used it. This is probably best for TT timing. Likely it can be started and stopped with a single button push. Whether the extra few moments required to zero the counters on the VDO is a significant disadvantage over other brands is an individual decision. I am pleased with the wireless design. Have a new Pinarello with internal cable routing, so it's nice not to have wires strung around the frame. The ability of the VDO to display, in fairly large numbers, the speed and cadence simultaneously is a plus. The only real surprise with the VDO compared to previous bike computers is the speed reads in .5 mile increments rather than .1 increments--not sure about the metric function increments. Also cadence reads in multiples of 2, i.e. 80, 82, 84, etc. Curiously, the image of the VDO that I am seeing as I write this is showing speed to .2. Mine only reads 0 or .5 Kind regards, ccwatchmaker@gmail.com

Frankly, I do not use it. I simply take my pulse for 6 seconds (using the clock on the bike) and add a zero :) 13 beats in 6 seconds means I'm at 130 BPM, works fine. I use the bike a bunch and ride it hard, great piece of equipment.
1697201
yes you can . it up to either miles or kilometers, it's the greatest light weight watch you can own!

Cadence, no; distance, yes; speed, not really, it will give you pace, which... On a bike is not what your looking for; average speed, no... Ave. pace instead; elevation, yes.

Maybe; magnets on wheel & crank must pass the same place where pickup mounts to the frame. The crank on my mountain bike sets too far forward so wasn't able to use it. If it meets this qualifying it will measure your wheels speed (MPH) and your cranks cadence in RPMs.

This is pretty much a bike specific device. While you could use it for other purposes, I think it would be a forced application.
