Cyclometer for real average speed/time...

It seems all three of the cyclometers in my house stop counting average speed and elapsed time while I sit at a light.

Is there a cheapish computer available that can be configured to do either (true elapsed time OR "rolling" elapsed)? Or, at least an adjustable threshhold for how long I can stand at a light before it stops recording?

Astrale 8

One of the features is not being automatic. From start to finish, and keeps counting while stopped.

Another one is to do your own math

Distance / overall time

The Cateye Mity-3 can be set to record time and distance only while you are moving, or true elapsed time and therefor true average speed.

the sigma bc1106 that I have only does rolling time as far as I am aware. When it stops detecting my wheel manet passing it stops counting my ride time.

My heart rate monitor has an elapsed time function. I start it when I start out for my commute. The Astrale 8 is set to automaic, so when I get to work I have total miles, riding time, and total time.
