Wahoo Fitness Bike for iPhone

While the myTREK Wireless Pulse Monitor fits the bill for tracking general aerobic activity, it may leave something to be desired for bicyclists, who need more than target heart rate, duration, and distance traveled to measure their improvements.

Wahoo Fitness has created a package especially for bicyclists that combines an enclosed, protective iPhone case with a wireless sensor for peddling cadence, speed, stride, and heart rate. Also included is their Wahoo Fitness app for the iPhone (app2.me/4934).

Wahoo incorporates ANT+, an interoperability function that allows the app to work with other sensors, helping to futureproof this bike accessory purchase.

Note that the Bike Pack only includes the main module/iPhone case and bike cadence sensor—an ANT+-compatible heart rate sensor is not included in the package.

The hardware is supported in over 80 different fitness applications available in the App Store, and additional accessories like the heart monitor and stride sensors work as long as they are compliant with the ANT+ protocol.
