I promised to show you a few snaps from the Nokia 5140 after I’ve downloaded the days commute:
This just shows the altitude, heart rate and cadence functions on a pretty decent colour display. It would show speed as well but I seem to be having problems with the speed sensor.
This is a really useful summary feature that isn’t even available on the PC software. Have you noticed that it says I’ve used 839 calories? That’s just the cycle home – I should be a flippin rake by now, instead I continue to look like a brick shit house on wheels.

Here’s an example screen shot from the polar precision performance software that comes bundled with the S725.
Quite why I need precision performance when I’m only commuting to work. mmmmmm I think I like to waste money.
Anyway it great to be able to relive my trip to work, I can see the point at which my heart appears to stop - that’s the level crossing and how I constantly have to stop and start for traffic lights and then how I start taxing myself as I steam up the very minor hill in Hyde Park. Trouble with commuting is that todays ride is the same as tomorrows and the next days and so on. The incentive to upload the files wears off after a while.
Perhaps in the spring I better start adding some proper cycle training into the mix and start heading for Richmond Park at the weekend.
