It doesn't appear that the Mity 8 has a cadence function, but the next model up, the <a href="http://www.cateye.com/en/product_detail/253" rel="nofollow">Astrale 8</a>, does. Unfortunately, it's just a "current cadence" function - according to <a href="http://www.cateye.com/sites/cateye/upload/product_charts/cycle_computers_chart.html" rel="nofollow">this chart</a>, if you want detailed cadence information from a Cateye cycle computer, you'll have to go with the wireless (and expensive) CC-CD300DW.

I like the Mity 8 a lot. I haven't tried to figure out yet whether it measures cadence. If so, it's perfect. If not, I might get one next time that does. In any case, it has an easily accessed clock, two trip odometers plus an overall odometer, average and max speed, and time pedaled. I've been very happy with it.

Does the Cat Eye Mity 8 work out well for you? Are you in the habit of writing down each day's distance at the end of the day, or does it somehow store that information for you? And is the clock function easy to access? I don't wear a watch and would like a cycle computer with an easy-to-use and read clock. I’m interested in getting a cycle computer.
