Training with a heart rate monitor can improve your ride immensely. We recently wrote an article on how to use a heart rate monitor effectively to get the most out of any ride, which you can find here. If that hasn’t got you convinced, then check out the article that bicycling.com recently published reviewing the Wahoo TICKR heart rate monitor as ‘the most comfortable heart rate monitor’ that they’d ever worn.
“If, like me, you’ve shied away from heart rate monitors for reasons of discomfort and inconvenience, the Tickr might be the one to win your heart.”

Comfort is very important, especially when adding another wearable to your cycling regime. If your new tech isn’t comfortable, and you notice it when riding, it can really put a negative spin on your ride. It’s hard to commit to wearing a device like a heart rate monitor if it distracts you from your workouts.
Bicycling.com found the ticker to be easy to use, too. Another important feature of heart rate monitor use is their ease of setup and pairing.
“I snapped it on, and the red and blue lights blinked almost immediately, indicating that it had picked up my heart beat (red) and was searching for my phone (blue), which it synced with within seconds after launching the app and turning on Bluetooth.”
