Why Does My Heart Rate Go So High Riding?

#1 Post by Aufgeblssen47 » Sun Apr 28, 2019 5:20 pm

I have a Garmin 235 activity 24/7 monitoring watch. My normal RHR (resting heart rate) is in the 60s. But when I am riding the Ryker, it goes way HIGH!!!

Today I went for a leisurely 1/2 hour ride around the area, but my HR went as high as 156!!!

Anyone else notice this curiosity?

I suppose when I first started riding? But now a days my heart rate is similar to me riding a car. It only really goes up when I’m passing cars at 90+.

I determined it is a FALSE reading, caused by handlebar vibration. When I ride with my watch hand off the handlebar, it reads normal rates.
