One of my first purchases after buying bike recently.

I can see cadence at a glance, how many miles I've gone that day to log it into mysporttraining.com and coolrunning.com, average speed to see how I'm improving.

Add to that heart rate data (coming down successfully each week), and GPS data with routes, tracks, waypoints (mostly used for hiking in a local forest, but used on the bike too), and I have everything I need, to measure pace and progress.

Measuring average speeds, pace, distance, max/resting/average/recovery heart rates, is all motivating to me.

Keeps me on track. I like it, find it all useful, others may not.







Oh, and remove the computer in those nasty supermarkets.
