Yeah i use one. Personally it doesn't really show me how hard i'm working as my legs give in before my "engine" does as it were. It sits at 50-odd resting and then 180ish when riding and thats about it. Must have a digital heart.
Comes from the sprinters background, last time i was tested (probably about 5 years ago now) by max heart rate was something daft so 180, and even 190 is comfortable for me.
