Is it possible to install a regular bike computer on a spin bike and make it work in regards to rpm, not necessarily speed and distance? I am looking to the winter and want to get ready.

Don't see why not. The cadence function is a sensor mounted somewhere on the frame activated by a magnet on a crankarm. I'm sure you could find a way to glue/ziptie the bits on a spinbike.

On the other hand, since you don't need to watch the road on a stationary biker, it's real easy to figure your cadence by looking at a watch and counting strokes for 10 or 15 seconds. That's pretty easy even on the road, in truth. If you do it occasionally it's not hard to get a feel for what different tempos feel like.

it is just a magnet and sensor. You may have to devive some way to ziptie, glue or tape it together but it will work
