  • Measures current altitude, ascending/descending altitude, and max altitude
  • PC-compatible; temperature display; adjustable to 2 wheel sizes
Versatile and dynamic, the Sigma BC 2209 STS triple wireless bicycle/hiking computer cuts a fine figure on handlebars but also fits on your wrist for hikes and climbs. In its cycling configuration, the BC 2209 STS displays your current speed, average speed, and maximum speed, so you'll have a good idea whether you're the tortoise or the hare on the bike trail. You can also compare your current and average speed on the same screen, or check the trip distance and total distance (the latter is only available after your ride). The computer even offers a programmable trip section counter, a roadbook that lets you create a back-and-forth itinerary.

The BC 2209 STS's HR functions include ECG-precise measurements of your actual, average, and maximum heart rate, along with a zone alarm that tells you when you're exceeding or falling below your target heart rate. In the process, the computer keeps track of your calories burned thus far. The BC 2209 STS also includes a number of time-specific functions, including a countdown timer that's perfect for racing against the clock; a stopwatch that keeps you sharp on intervals; a display for elapsed and total riding time (the latter is only available after your ride); and a time-keeping clock. And serious cyclists can opt to use the cadence functions (current and average), which help you ride efficiently both on the road and in the woods. You can also turn off the cadence functions while riding.

The BC 2209 STS is more than just a cycling computer. The device, which comes with a wrist strap, measures your current altitude, ascending/descending altitude, and the day's maximum altitude, giving climbers and hikers plenty of essential training data (the computer also calculates your uphill altitude on a bike). Additional hiking functions include hiking time, target time, and a current temperature display.

Rounding out the BC 2209's versatility is its ability to automatically recognize a second bike. That means you can gauge the total distance and ride time of either or both bikes, a handy option for couples or friends who train together. Other features include seven language settings, a backlight, a battery status display, and a backup function that preserves your settings and info even when the battery dies. The PC-compatible BC 2209 STS is also available in a wired version. The BC 2209 Triple Wireless + altitude speedometer is a multifunction device for altitude, speed, heart rate, cadence and temperature. Thanks to the included wrist strap, the device can also be used as a hiking computer.

About Planet Bike
In November 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, WI. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way. Instead of being just another company that develops and sells products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help bring about positive change for people, their communities, and the environment.

Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact.

Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high-quality, and practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, the company strives to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short 10-year history, it has made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the four-line computer which is now a standard in the industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad for a company that 10 years ago started as a one-man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve its product line with the goal of always striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled 0,000. By 2010, they have made a goal to donate million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.

The Protege Series are great for training, touring, or keeping track of car-free miles.

About CatEye
Founded in 1946 in Osaka, Japan, ISO-approved CatEye is a worldwide leader in manufacturing cycle computers, lights, and reflectors. In 1964, CatEye created the first flashing lamp for bicycles, and went on to create the first bicycle headlamp using white LEDs in 2001. The company's Opticube lens and reflectors allow it to make the brightest and most efficient LED headlights on the market today, and the D500 remains the only rear safety light that meets the rigorous CPSC standards for reflectivity.

CatEye's first cycle computer was released in 1981, and the company now offers a full range of computers. The company was additionally among the first to integrate altimeter, heart rate, and cadence technology into cycle computers.
