I got my self a wahoo fitness HR monitor I can’t remember the model but it works great with the Wahoo fitness app on my phone or an iPod touch, To ad to this I got a Wahoo cadiance and speed monitor which has three parts, The main body with the sensors Attaches to the main bike frame, On the bottom bar of the back wheel support, So it can pick up both the rear wheel spinning an the pedal going around, There is a little rubber band thing with a sensor device in it that goes on the pedal arm, And another little sensor that attaches to the spokes of the back wheel that then like the sensor on the pedal arm gets picked up by the main wahoo sensor that is on the bottom wheel arm 9bracket), This uses Bluetooth 4 in my devices case to connect to the wahoo fitness app on my phone or ipod touch and picks up how fast the back when is spinning, And also how fast you are pedalling. These feed in to the app and together you can get a pretty good view of your workout data, The app does take some getting use to and I would advise playing around with it to setup the appropriate workout for yourself, And then once you have the hr monitor and caidance device, You can pair those to your app. Hope that helps. Oh and the wahoo app is very accessible but full of a lot of stuff.

I’ve poked around online and there appear to be lots of resources on this topic since I like a lot of other folks don’t’ feel like shelling out the big bucks for a peloton along with the subscription. I’ve got a 15 year old Schwinn recumbent bike that is still holding strong and am not looking to upgrade as long as it’s still working. Even then, I think I’d be more inclined to buying a more traditional bike for when I next upgrade instead of something that’s Internet connected where with any sort of app or firmware update, it can become inaccessible just like that. Anyway, getting to my question, has anyone tackled this dumb bike/smart bike project? Can they recommend any iOS accessible tools to get for measuring heart rate, speed, distance etc.? I’m not an Apple watch owner and have no desire to get one and would be perfectly fine with a stand-alone heart rate monitor. My understanding is that Wahoo fitness stuff is the way to go to get connected, but again and as always, what’s accessible for us? iOS app/service?
