150m into my ride tonight my HR went up to 190bpm from a starting point of 114 bpm (had been running around prior to getting on the bike i hasten to add)
My average on bike HR is 138bpm (tonight was 139bpm) and usual max is mid 170s.
any idea what the cause may be or do i ignore?
Where do I send the flowers?
Had the same thing happen to me. Spoke to a friend of mine who rides professionally. Apparently the units can get confused around other units, railway lines, overhead cables and even flapping clothing (though manufactures deny the latter).
Hope that puts your mind at rest!
Annoying but not fatal!
turned my led light on- could that be the cause?
you think that's odd!
apparently mine peaked at 251 on a ride not long back
absolutely no idea why, but did freak me out
Mih, 190 is grand.
Get worried if you can actually feel it going mental and feeling faint etc while you are going easy / doing nothing.
What GregMay said.
Mine goes to mote than that and I feel bit odd. Slow down and it drops back to normal... worried the hell out of me... so I stopped using it

Aye, that'll be it, those things can be pretty exciting, especially the flashing ones 😉
i turn my Trout on and my pooter turns off!....guess that might be the prob. On the other hand if you drop dead at roadside its nowt to do with me.....lol
get a bloody grip
It was an artifact from a crap piece of tech
did you faint? Keel over an die? Get chest pains? collaspase in a gibbering heap?
NO?
Still alive?
Foregetaboutit
power cables and led lights spike mine.
Given they have to 24 hour ECG on equipment worth 10s of thousands pounds to get accurate results for such blips, I reckon you Argos special is not a reliable source.
+1 TJ and Drac,I've watched £10k's worth of monitor trying to tell me the patient I was talking to was dead LOL
