Not surprised - I am always on "high alert" when riding and I am sure this affects my heart rate.

I,m 70 and have a 62 resting pulse and when riding I rarely even breath so its probably lower. Riding relaxes my mind and spirit?

I checked my HR in the middle of having gold markers installed in my prostate (not a bit fun!), and it was steady as a rock low. I was surprised, as it was quite stressful.

Thats why you ride. Riding increases heart rate. Unless you are a long time rider. It is called thrill and fun.

I am a long time rider. That's why it makes no sense.

I never thought to check my heart rate, but I am definitely going to check it now. I normally have a resting heart rate of 53-55.

I think the reading is wrong. I have a Garmin Fenix 5 that I wear all the time. If I train, I wear a chest strap. Been wearing those since 1988. I know and understand my HR. I'm 65 and my resting is 48. It usually takes me 10 minutes on a bicycle ride to get it past 110. I find cold and sweat will alter the reading, sometimes dramatically re past 140-150. It could be cool air or tension in your wrist due to the way you hold the handlebar. Maybe you jacket is not windproof or your cuffs are open. I would say assume the reading is wrong and try to find a reason why.

It is reading correctly. Even when I simply get up in the morning or go to the mailbox & back it goes quite high. I've had several episodes of A-Fib, have leaky heart valves, and enlarge aorta.

That makes it sound like an issue that you should discuss with your doctor, as it seem like the Spyder may not be causing a false reading.

Must be the vibration of the seat

Curious...🤔
Why compare to your (Resting heart rate)...?? you should compare it to your heart rate while on a rollercoaster.....you are not at rest while ryding....I hope....

Already did (the walking part). She (the PA) didn't believe my watch was reading accurately while even just walking.

on that note, how do you guys relax and keep the throttle steady? I find myself cramping up after 10 minutes. I'm probably squeezing too hard.

+ 1 on having some medical issue. I have the opposite issue re too low. Last year I had to increase my electrolyte and salt intake to elevate my HR. Do you have hypertension or white knuckle syndrome?

I see a false reading on my fitness tracker also. It doesn't show up as heart rate but as additional steps. When I have ridden about an hour the tracker thinks I have walked many thousand steps.

I'm still waiting for my yellow Caterpillar o-rings to arrive for cruise control. Will be fine after that.

I don't pay attention to steps whasoever. My watch shows a 4 hour history of my HR, and when connected to laptop, shows 24/7.

156 is quite high. Since you have afib it may be related to the sensor picking up the extra beats, but I would not be nonchalant about it. It's also possible that something in the bike is causing electrical interference with watch sensor.
If you don't already have one, you can pick up one of the small pulseox monitors for about 25 bucks off amazon or walmart. Besides SPO2, it will also give you your heart rate optically sensed through the blood flow through you finger. Good to have with cardiac issues. You could also try and check your rate yourself if you know how, but the meter is much easier.
An old time rider shouldn't be that nervous when riding.

Have/had. Whatever. Someone tries to give you some good advice and that is how you respond.

I regularly see one. What is of concern if you RHR is high. Mine is usually lower than normal. Normal range is 60-80. Mine is often in the 50s, and today it was 47!

Update! High Heart Rate Whilst Riding Problem SOLVED
I rode w/o my (heart monitor) watch hand on the handlebar for a while, and my HR was perfectly normal. So I can conclude that the vibration of the handlebar is causing a false reading bugaboo.
