I don't think that the Cateye will take off.

 

No ANT+ for sensors such as power meters is a killer and making use of your phones GPS will mean you can't go on very long rides - my battery drains very quickly when the GPS is active.

Agreed, for a few hundred more you can get the Bryton 330. Sure, it is no Garmin and doesn't come with any sensors either, but I think it is a better buy than this Cateye

For the price of that rack you can buy a second hand Volvo and rip the seats out and let your bike lay down in comfort!!!

Yeah, but for for that price it washes, lubes and does minor fixes to your bike while the bikes are secured to it.
