I purchased my first bike computer – a “Cateye Solar” – in the mid-80s, and back when they cost around 80 bucks. (Ouch!) It added a whole new dimension to my cycling… being able to track miles with incredible accuracy turned out to be an incentive to accumulate a few more. And since then, I’ve ridden 186,000+ miles… most of it tracked by an assortment of Cateye computers. (I’ve tried other brands a couple times… always came back to the Cateye for its ease of use and readability… and reliability.)Most recently, on another bike, I’ve been using the “Velo 7” model… named such because it has 7 functions (speed, trip miles, odometer, clock, trip time, average speed and max speed).Well, lo and behold, they’ve enhanced it to a “Velo 9.” (The Velo 7 is still available, but it costs 10 bucks more than a Velo 9 in white, and I’m budget-conscious.)I’m happy with it… except for the two new functions. The promotional verbiage explains it: “BECAUSE YOU CARE: The Velo 9 also tracks calories and carbon offset.”Well, guess what? I DON’T CARE!!! It’s just feel-good drivel for people “who care”!If those figures were meaningful, I might care. But – guess what? CALORIES (I assume calories expended on a bicycle trip) is subject to many variables that are not factored in. I weigh 240 pounds… I’ll burn more calories riding 10 miles, than a rider half my weight. In addition, I’ll burn more calories riding 5 miles uphill, or into the wind, than if I’m coasting for the same number of miles. And… CARBON OFFSET. Huh?!!? Is that not dependent on what form of transportation I would be using, if not riding my bike? Granted, I’m probably “offsetting” carbon when I ride my bike, instead of borrowing the Missus’ Family Truckster. And I’m WAY below Algore, who rides in a limo or a Gulfstream. But it’s just silly to make a pretense of measuring “carbon offset.” My bicycling is not going to make the planet last another year longer. (If I can send the number in to Algore and get some of that sweet carbon money, I’ll take back everything I said! hahaha!) Fortunately, toggling past my CALORIES and CARBON OFFSET is only a mild annoyance. (And – I CARE!!! haha)Ride on, friends. If you find the CALORIES and CARBON OFFSET numbers to be gratifying, feel free to ignore my editorializing.

UPDATE 08/15/2020: To get direct readout of cadence, set wheel circumference to 166cm. Magnet(s) only needed on one spoke of the chainwheel. 8.6kph on the display equals 86 rpm. I found it easy to read on the Velo 9.Per a hack I found online, I use my Velo 9 as a cadence meter. I use the sensor to detect magnets that are mounted on the smallest front chainwheel on my bike.When setting up the Velo 9:- Select km/h as your speed unit- If you have a four-spoke chainring, enter 208cm as your tire circumference- If you have a five-spoke chainring, enter 167cm as your tire circumferenceWhen you are pedaling, the km/h number displayed on the Velo 9 will be 1/2 your actual cadence. (Actual cadence can’t be displayed because the biggest number that be entered for tire circumference is 299cm.)UPDATE 08/15/2020: To get direct readout of cadence, set wheel circumference to 166cm. Magnet(s) only needed on one spoke of the chainwheel. 8.6kph on the display equals 86 rpm. I found it easy to read on the Velo 9.Using a GPS speedometer app on my phone, I checked theoretical mph vs. actual mph at multiple cadences and at multiple speeds. Actual mph was always within 0.5 mph of theoretical mph.IMPORTANT: Neodymium (rare earth) magnets are not toys! Keep them away from kids!Additional NotesA Velo 7, smaller display, will also work. It uses the same programming.Ceramic magnets will work, but I used neodymium (rare earth) magnets. The neodymium are more expensive than ceramic, but also MUCH stronger. My smallest chain ring is dished and has four spokes. To get the magnets closer to the sensor, I stacked two magnets on each spoke. In over 100 miles of riding, the magnets haven’t moved at all. I may secure them with silicone glue, someday, maybe ?.I’m an old, fat, out-of-shape guy (71, 5’9”, 230#) who has gained weight during the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown. Getting serious about riding the bike (My typical daily ride is 17miles at an average of 11 mph.) has gotten me back down to my pre-pandemic weight (218#).Per the cadence meter, I pedal faster than I thought I did; a good thing. My “recreational” cadence is about 60. My “exercise” cadence is 76-86. My “too fast, shift to a higher gear” cadence is anything above 90.I wanted a cadence meter that was cheaper than my bike. I wanted to avoid dealing with wireless connectivity. My Velo 9 cadence meter works well and I’m happy with the results.

The computer does all the things you need it to. Very simple to use. The only gripe I have is with the sensor. It attaches easily to one spoke, however, if it is not screwed on tight enough it could twist on the spoke. My previous odometer sensor attached to two spokes and was a much flatter design. Once attached, it didn’t budge. Of course, I mountain bike. A road cyclist might not see this as an issue at all.

with the advent of the USB charging craze it’s getting hard to find the old “stick a battery in’em” devices. I’m not happy if I have to disconnect the unit, take it inside, put it charge and then remember to get it when I’m ready to ride again. With this unit the battery will last the entire season. I never have to worry about remembering the five steps to getting it back on my bike. I just get on and ride. That’s the way it supposed to be. This unit provides 9 separate functions including all the critical ones: speed, ave speed, ride time, max speed and a bunch only biking geeks care about. The unit is simple to install and eaay to use. What more could I possible need. Oh, and it’s dirt cheap. Thank you Cat Eye.

I have, somewhere stored away an old radio shack version.I liked it better.This does work great an was easy to install.It just has irrelevant crap that is meaningless. The “carbon footprint” and calorie counter are a sales gimmick I wish they scrap.Anyone with a brain should know the numbers it’s showing are meaningless.Other than that it’s easy to read and does a good job.
