The advanced wireless cadence sensor in the Polar CS200cad Cycling Heart Rate Monitor measures your pedaling rate as RPMs and measures your current, average, and max speed. This means you can train to increase speed while keeping your heart rate in a specific zone. Arrows on the CS200 let you know when you're above or below your average speed, and the automatic display scroll switches the information according to your preferences.

Strengths: Reliable, 7 memories, great display
Weaknesses: sonic data transfer dependent on good mic. averages speed over 10secs, so you can be sitting at the lights and it's still reading 27kph. No graphing, just trip averages. Can't display ODO or max speed without stopping it and looking at totals/files
Bottom Line:
Good reliable speedo.
Make sure you damp the hr band before wearing it or you'll get wierd readings for the first half hour (stuck on half or double your HR until you stop the bike)
