Does anyone seriously think that "I didn't have a speedometer" is really going to suffice as a defence against a speeding ticket?


I rode computerless for a few weeks earlier this year. It didn't make a lot of difference to me either way. In a way I like having it there because it gives me something else to think about if I'm riding through the boring suburban stretch right at the end of a long ride. I also find it interesting at the end of the day to see how far I've ridden, although it's not something I take very seriously. For those reasons, I've kept mine.
