Do you have rate response turned on? If so, it could sense the vibration and make your heart beat faster. The sensitivity can be adjusted.

I have a Medtronic device. I cannot adjust it as far as I know. I will call my MD's office tomorrow and ask them about the 'rate response. I think I'd give up the device before I give up riding.



No headset yet but will keep that in mind.

Bike is an H-D FLSTC. No engine vibration.

Asked the nurse last week if bike riding was o.k. and she said yes, no problem.

Thanks for your response....Bob

Should not be a problem !

Bob.
I know six Bike Riders who have PMs.
Four have Rate Response 'on'.
None of the seven of us have had any reaction from our
PMs.
(Four FLHTCIs, two FLHRs and one 1340 Shovel with rigid frame.)
Best of luck.

You know you're wired when...

Bad hair days can be blamed on your device shorting out.
