If I use this for cycling as well, will the vibrating reminds not work when running? (Due to cycling being faster than running). If you get me

So far I haven't used the Garmin while cycling with any specific alerts. It vibrates to alert me I've gone a mile. Then when I switch to running it still vibrates to alert me I've gone a mile. Is that what you mean?

This watch has no cycling mode, so while you can theoretically bike with it, there's a lot of draw-backs. For example, if you set the pace alerts for a pace appropriate to cycling, then those same alerts will likely be useless while you are running. You have to manually change those alert ranges for running. Similarly, if you go for a ride, the watch will starting telling you that you've set all sorts of personal records (2-minute fast mile!, longest run ever!, etc). I biked with this watch only a few times before deciding I wanted a dedicated bike computer.

Not sure if I understand your question. You can set the auto lap interval to any distance you want. So for cycling you can make it for two or three miles. Just a word of warning, there is no cycling function on this watch yet. I assumeThey will add it during an update, but it is strictly running now.

Hi Paul. I am afraid I do not know the answer to your question, for I am not a cyclist, nor have I used this watch while cycling. I am not sure the Forerunner 220 is the best option for a cyclist. There are other Forerunner watches better equip for the sport of cycling, and for triathletes.

That would depend on how long and at what speed you are using it. I have not used it for an extended period of time and have not been bothered by any vibration. I am a big guy with big hands and it has been fine. The noise can be a bother if you are in a confined space.

YUP! It should do that for you with the proper speed setting. It's a great little exercise bike! It's quiet (love that part) and takes up very little floor space!

I can't stand up and pedal on mine; it didn't feel sturdy when I tried. However, one style of riding I've used is similar to running while seated. I can pump my arms and legs in a running style, all the while seated. I've ridden over 400 miles now and love the convenience to exercise in my home.

Hi, the heart rate monitor works just fine for me and I've used it for maybe 7-10 runs and get VERY sweaty.

Yes, it vibrates when you are in zone, under zone, over zone, and right at the target. As I wear earphones and listen to music while running, I need to feel that vibe!

Yes, it does work with cycling. There are preset programs for cycling along with programs you can taylor yourself. If you want to train by heart rate I'd get a heart rate monitor. I bought that separate. The only thing this watch isn't programed for at this time is swimming. Hope that helps.

The front wheel does shake quite a bit, so I would tilt the entire stroller when running. It's a great workout when you have to do that!!

According to my wife, this device works by vibration only. However, there are different 'pulse' patterns you can select. Hope this helps!

It feels like tapping plus vibration to me. It is very effective. You have to hold onto it securely when using it. I see the other answers are: vibrate only. Maybe. But it is pretty intense.

When I put it on my shoe or the pedal it tracks some, but not nearly as much as it should. Do you move your arms when you cycle? If you do, I've found I get the best results when I either hold it in my hand, or I really recommend the third-party wristbands that fit the zip. Just search for "fitbit zip wristband."

Itdoesn't actually vibrate.there is a setof circular spots that push against you back , thighs and it's done in a pattern that changes. There's two intensity levels with the option of heat

I haven't had that problem at all. If anything, it is a bit inaccurate in the beginning of a run while my heart rate is just kicking in. After a few minutes at most, mine works well - as accurate as my Polar without the irritating strap.

I didn't realize you couldn't put more resistance on it than cycle at it's own pace. But, hey it's movement, and I know I'll be using it more than the one which requires you to cycle it. It just would have been nice to have the option, when you felt a little more energetic. Ha But I just got my machine today and I need to post a question, may not be the right place, but does anyone have one that stops moving periodically. Just wondering if this one has a short, or it just does that.

Oops. Sorry. I thought you were asking about a different model. This is a good treadmill. I walk on it at 4 mph and there is no rattle or anything so I don't see you having a problem running on it.

I ride my bike a lot and just got the fuel band. To track what I have done on my bike, I use the nike+ Running app thats free and out for IOS and Android. The running app calculates nikefuel during the run and once the run is complete, they all sync up together. That's my work around. I will try the ankle thing and see how that goes.

Have you tried this product yet for cycling? I'm getting this as a gift for a cyclist...
