Nexus 5 and ANT+

[hillbilly2]

Is there an easy way to get ANT+ to work on the Nexus 5? I have a Giant bike with RideSense.

Depends on your definition of easy

If you're rooted, and prepared to spend ~£6 then, apparently, this works:

I should say I haven't used it so not 100% sure, but there's a thread on xda that references it, as well as giving some info in general:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/ant-nexus-5-t2530745

In theory it would also be possible to sort out the kernel/libraries manually but I've not looked that much into it.

Its not rooted. So no then?

It involves a kernel change and some replaced/new files in the system area so I don't see it happening without root access (you could unroot after for any apps or whatever)

Or I guess a custom rom, which technically wouldn't need root just an unlocked bootloader...
