On that "Cheap" computer for the bike. After a while you notice that you don't look at it. You know when you are going fast enough- because you can't breath- You know you have done a lot of milage when the butt starts aching and you know that the average speed for a ride was up because the legs don't stop burning for the evening. You only look at the computer after a ride- or on the Cafe break after about 20 miles.

That is until you get a computer like the Garmin Edge series that is Wireless- as its a GPS- tells you your heart rate- cadence- how far you've climbed and a lot of other facts that you really ought to know about. And when you download the facts at the end of the ride- it can even put a map on Google to show you where you have been. Only problem is that you only look at it when the ride has finished and you can see your ride in all its glory on the screen.

Stay with the cheap computer- You don't need any more than that.





Unless you do get a Garmin- cos they are fantastic.
