Take the 2-minute tour ×  I'm looking into purchasing a bike
computer, primarily to track distance and speed. Is it worth it
to go up a notch and get a computer that also tracks cadence?
How accurate are bike computers at doing this? I'm not
interested in wireless computers - I hear too much about
interference, and they are much more expensive (thus targets for
thieves) -- so is it worth it to hook up more cables to the bike
in order to get cadence info?  share|improve this question I
suspect you'd get more useful answers if you asked "what are the
benefits of measuring cadence" but then you'd risk duplicating
this question –  Mσᶎ Jun 26 at 2:00 Re wireless, I tried a
Cateye unit (one with a combined pickup) and found it very
difficult to set up & keep working, radio-wise. And last week I
discovered that if I turned my small LED headlight on to "flash"
mode it totally disrupted the wireless speed pickup of my
current unit. (The cadence pickup, oddly, is wired and was not
affected.) –  Daniel R Hicks Jun 26 at
