Bike Sensor

Bike Sensor by Jarv Product Review There exists of a number of scenarios why you’d want to train at higher or lower cadence dependent on your training goals and race scenarios.  Since there’s no display on the sensor itself, you do have to use the phone app to get the data from the sensor.
