Hi. I'm thinking of getting a heart rate monitor, but am not sure whether to go for a wrist or bike mounted model. Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions??? thanks & merry christmas!

There are plenty of wrist HRM's that come with bike mounts.0

Depends on how you ride. I'd imagine that on the bars would be more convinient i.e. leave it on the bike and forget it, but I like a wrist one because I do most of my ridding in the aero bars and so can't see a hr monitor mounted on the bar/stem.0

There's a funny stuff about on the roads in the Rhondda today.....I punctured twice within minutes and had to get a lift home from Porth. That was long after a record breaking climb of the rhigos ha ha. Nice day for pain though....0

Get a wrist mounted one if your not sure, as you can always use something like this to mount it on a bike, about £5 i've paid for bike mounts:
only bad thing about getting a wrist mount, is that some of them, well won't mount onto the stem, unless you put it on sideways :S
That way you can always use it on your wrist for other sports, or as a watch0 -
I've got a wrist watch model (Polar) which I sometimes put on the bike. I got this as I also use it running. Rather than a specfic bike mount all you need is something like the foam that goes round water pipes on your handlebars to make them the size of a small wrist.
Personally the main things I look at are just current HR and average.
