would this work well for mountain biking? all the jarring/speed would be more than walking/jogging.

For tracking where you are it's fine, I've used mine driving in a military Stryker on missions.

I don't think it would be a big problem if you were to keep it strapped to the top of a rucksack. Maybe to your wrist?? It's built fairly rugged so it might do OK? I can't make any promise's if you really knock it around. As long as you keep it strapped to something that can align with the satellite's and the unit doesn't flop around too much you should be good. That's all I can give you, you have to decide what "flop around" might be in your judgement. If you think it's out of bounds, it probably is. Good luck.

Thank you for your help. I had not even thought about how small the screen was to read while biking!

The jarring motions won't be an issue at all. I used this particular model in long range vehicle/reconnaissance patrols over pretty rugged terrain in the past.

This is a pretty rugged unit. I think it will take the bouncing, splashing and general abuse OK but the display is on the small side and you would have trouble reading it on the go. You'll probably need to stop once in a while to read it.

Fairly well,depending on the terrain. It doesn't climb hills and doesn't have brakes. Buy an extra battery and carry it along, when the first battery runs out then switch so you can avoid pushing it back home.

I have. It would work best on smooth pavement since the wheels are of a hard plastic variety. Be sure to lock the front wheel in place, and it will be fine as a jogger. I've logged 10+ miles at a time with this jogger with no issues - other folks commented saying the jogger will "topple" - never had this issues - ensure you're holding onto the handle/use a safety strap.

yup as long as your biking on the streets and not on really bumpy like extreme downhill biking... on regular streets its perfect. theres a good balence between isolation and hearing the cars behind you

It would work great for jogging. Only remember that if your volume is turned up too high it might pose a safety risk because if you have to cross a street, for example, you might not hear a car approaching. Also, the headphones are pretty good.

Yes it works just fine for biking using the foot pod. Of course you still need the strap for your heart rate. For overall watch for both running and biking I did fine the font was small and can be hard to read so it takes getting use too. I like to us my phone also and use like Mapmyrun or mapmyride app to compare distance via GPS.

I use it for mountain biking and road cycling. It vibrates some on rough terrain, but I haven't lost my phone yet.

I use it on the street and sidewalk as a jogger. The only thing that I would like better is a front wheel that swivels while running. The stationary wheel is nice on the trails though

I found the cycle pro to be sturdy and well made. Additionally, I think the placement of the feet in the right way (level, solid ground ect) I think it would be right for a mountain bike.

I like mine. The front wheel itself did not brake but the plastic holding it did nut they sent a new one. Also in the write up it states it can be made stationary but it can't. I use mine for jogging and biking. Biking works great on roads and trails jogging is best on trails. Walking in the road is ok but not jogging. But for price and durability it was a great buy.

No. It wobbled with a fast walk. Not a good choice for jogging. I sent it back.

Yes it works well with a mountain bike. It is a little more noisy than road bikes because of the tires but it still works great.

Not really. It's good for walking on an incline but I'd look around for a better one. This one seems to be weak in the rear for running.

I have two mountain bikes, a Schwinn and a Specialized, and it works great on both. It stays still when you go over bumps and it works great for carrying a cell phone and a bike wrench set.

Yes, but most people here would recommend changing out the treads for something flat. The mountain bike treads will add to the noise. It is already pretty loud, but it will become industrial machine loud.

Yes it can if you are on relatively flat areas. For mountainous or hilly terrain, I would use a "real" walking stick.

It has done very well for us on both pavement and some area trails. No major mountain biking around here though so I'm not sure about that kind of performance. Hope that helps!
