I'm starting to get into road biking and find keeping my cadence around 90 to be doable if I have a sensor but difficult to do by feel alone. So I'm looking for some kind of reasonably priced cadence sensor. I also like to keep my friend posted (we try to motivate each other and have friendly competitions) so something that works with Strava is a plus but not necessarily required.

Got a new smartphone so I'm thinking of using the old one (HTC M7) to track my fitness. I see two benefits to doing it this way:

1) Hopefully it saves me from buying a Garmin 520.
2) If I take a good spill than I won't smash a phone I care about.

Doesn't look like the phone is ANT+ enabled so I think Bluetooth is the way to go (unless there's an easy and cost effective way to get ANT+).

Any recommendations on cadence sensors? Would like to keep it under $100 (I'm in Canada so pounds are something you lose from physical activity not from spending too much time on bike forums over here)
