Cycling Computer
I am looking to buy a bike computer. I am mainly interested in:
Distance Speed Heart rate Cadence may be nice also. Calories perhaps. Anyway, there are lots of models. Any recommendations? I have a wireless heartrate strap that came with the treadmill. I am guessing it will work with any of these computer models. Correct assumption?

From the rear so that I can use it with my trainer.

Be careful for the wireless computers. Many of them claim ti be good on the rear wheel, but they don't work well.
