Review - Tacx Flow Computer Ergo Turbo Trainer and PC Upgrade
My beautiful and shapely wife loves to cycle. It helps to maintain her youthful figure. She looks so young that whenever I ride with her, people commented; "Bagusnya bapak dia, temankan anak dia kayuh basikal." (Very good of the father, to accompany his daughter cycling).
Keeping her company during rides was not a problem except during Ramadan since we can only start riding after 10 p.m. due to tarawikh prayers. Turning in at midnight, waking up at 4.30 a.m. for sahur was not a good idea, since I would be walking like a zombie the next day. |

Review - Polar S725X Heart Rate Monitor
I have been using the Cat Eye
CC-HR200DW for the last 4 months. Although it was a good cyclometer, it was not a good heart rate monitor (HRM). To obtain the maximum benefit during cycling, my target heart rate for my age should be between 107 until 152 bpm. However the Cat Eye HRM was
not performing as it should be. The HRM didn't work during any of the group rides, which was rather embarrassing especially
when others were asking about my heart rate during the rides to ensure that we were at the optimum pace.
I was so frustrated with the Cateye HRM that I decided to replace it. The senior riders in my cycling group suggested the Polar CS200cad which has a big display screen, big and easy to press buttons, able to monitor the heart rate, speed, distance and cadence. But you can use Polar CS200cad while cycling only. Instead I decided to get the best Polar HRM model available locally, which is the Polar S725X, which I can use during any other forms of exercise such as cycling, running and hiking. It was really an impulse buy. I stopped by Total Field at Dwitasik, Bandar Sri Permaisuri and asked whether they have the model in-stock. They said yes. We haggled over the price a bit and once I think I had a good deal, I bought it. The clincher was when they said that the cadence meter was included with that price.
