Hey OZB’ers
I have my road bike attached to a Tacx non smart bike trainer and ride to GCN’s spin classes. They guide you using cadence and intensity.
Is there a way I can measure this while riding? My current computer relies on GPS so that’s no good to me on the trainer
Thank you in advance for feedback / suggestions

I have the Cateye Stealth 10 GPS Computer Black so I dont think so? It’s pretty old now.
I will try and find a cheap one on Wiggle unless you have a recommendation
You can either get a cheap standalone bike computer than comes with a cadence sensor, or likely a more expensive option that integrates with your GPS unit that you can also use when riding outdoors.
Thank you, will start looking now
Does your current bike gps have ant+ or Bluetooth?
I don’t think so, this is the model I have https://www.cateye.com/intl/support/manual/data/doc/CC-GL10_…
Bluetooth cadence sensor can also connect to numerous mobile apps like Wahoo Fitness, Strava, RideWithGPS, MapMyRide, Cyclemeter.
just Find a clock with a second hand/count. Count your pedal revs for 15sec and x4.
You’ll learn soon enough what cadence you are at. Eg 70 is cruising, 85-90 is a good spin, 110 is pretty damn fast.
one of these + the wahoo app on your phone should do it https://www.catch.com.au/product/garmin-bike-cadence-sensor-…
Get yourself a wahoo cadence & speed sensor download the wahoo app on your phone and bobs your uncle.

If you get yourself a bluetooth dongle you can ride on zwift.
Does your current bike computer support speed/cadence sensor via Bluetooth or ANT+? That would be the easiest way to do it.
I'm guessing it doesn't, so in that case you would probably need a really cheap bike computer that does, along with a speed/cadence sensor. Even if you decide to go back out on the road with your bike, having cadence measurements can be helpful.
