Tracking speed and distance for indoor cycling workouts

I am recovering from a knee injury, which has pushed me head first into cycling. I have a trainer for my road bike that I use for indoor workouts. Obviously, I can’t determine the distance or speed from my Vivoactive 3 due to the fact that I am stationary. What is the cheapest and easiest solution out there for me to add to my road bike so that I can track speed and distance for indoor cycling workouts from my Vivoactive 3?

Thanks for the help!

Been there. Done that. I use these for both my outdoor cycling and on my indoor trainer. They work great for me.

What application are you using or how are you using it? I practice Indoos cycling, I use the Zwift App with the garmin sensors (speed & cadence), I also use my Vivomart 3 Band with the Garmin Connec App, the problem is that in Garmin Connect they are registered as two different activities, I dont found how to do it so that Zwift detects my band as a heart rate monitor. I appreciate comments.

can you tell me how you calibrated the sensors in the indoor bike? where did you place the cadence and the wheel sensor?

I just bought a keiser Mi3 and would like to add since its is not compadtble to Garmin. thank you in advance

I have one of these on my stationary bike it does not calculate speed and distance

I make alternative Keiser converters - K2pi+ (ant) with ant - converts Keiser M3i signal to a more compatible Bluetooth and ant signal that works with Garmin receivers and Multisport watches- send power and cadence - so provides training load within Garmin connect app.

see this post from another user who bought one -
