Sports reviews of Cateye CC-RD200 Strada Cadence Bicycle Computer
Customer Review: A Good Choice for Those who Need Cadence
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
A bike computer is much needed accessory for your bike. If nothing else, most people want to know how fast they are going and how far they went. Of course, this computer, like just about all of the ones on the market, will tell you that and more. It has two trip odometers as well as a non-trip odometer, elapsed time, time of day, average speed, maximum speed, speedometer, and cadence.
On this model, the speedometer is always on display on the top of the screen with large numerals that are easy to read. There is a secondary display on the bottom of the screen with the other data, such as time, cadence, and the like. You scroll through the bottom display by pressing the bottom of the front of the computer, and one by one, the other data readouts are shown. As noted, the speedometer display remains constant as you scroll through the readouts for cadence, elapsed time, etc.
You can easily reset all the trip-related info (one of the trip odometers, elapsed time, average speed, and maximum speed) with the press of a fingertip. You can reset the second trip odometer by repeating the process when the second trip odometer is on the screen. The regular (non-trip) odometer can be reset through a more complicated procedure that wouldn't be done accidentally.
There is never a problem reading the speed readout. The large numerals can be read at a glance. The bottom display has much smaller numerals, and as a result can't always be read at a glance. Sometimes I have to study the display for a few seconds, particularly if I am trying to tell whether the seconds on the elapsed time readout are at ":12 or :42".
Why did I pick this model? The deciding factors were cadence, cost, and reliability.
Cadence tells you how many times a minute your pedals are rotating. As the Cateye puts it, "Your legs are your engine, and the Strada Cadence is your tachometer." Pedaling at the right cadence is important to pedaling efficiency and thus rider endurance. Thus, I eliminated any computer that did not offer cadence.
Cost was a factor since, with an entry level bike, I felt no need to have the top of the line gadget.
And reliability and cost concerns translate into having a hard wired, not wireless, computer. Wireless costs more. And I have heard a number of reliability complaints about wireless systems. It may be nice not to have wires, but it's certainly nicer not to have reliability problems. And since many of the wireless computers use a wire for the cadence, why not just go with two wires and not worry about it? As it turns out, the second wire does not detract any more than the first wire, and the wires are out of the way in any event.
I did not install the computer myself and therefore can't address the difficulty of installation and of initially programming the computer, but having seen how the bike shop installed it, it doesn't look that hard to do.
Given the price and features, I have been completely satisfied with this product.

The Strada Cadence bicycle computer from CatEye is notable for its oversized screen and large numbers. Featuring the company's trademark ClickTec interface, the device enables you to switch among eight modes by simply pressing the bottom of the computer face. Your selected mode (cadence, average speed, et cetera) appears at the bottom of the screen, while your current speed always appears at the top in huge, easy-to-read digits. An up/down arrow tells you whether you're above or below your average speed.
An innovative FlexTight bracket mounts quickly, securely, and without tools to virtually any handlebar or stem. The new tool-free speed and cadence sensor mounts effortlessly to any standard (non-elevated) chain stay.
The device includes a clock and a programmable odometer and lets you track your current speed, maximum speed, average speed, trip distance, and elapsed time. Other features include automatic start/stop and an automatic power-saving mode.
