Mileage Decrease?
Has anyone else experienced a minute drop in their mileage on routes they ride every day? My computer is reporting that my ride to work (just under 8 miles) is about .05 to .1 shorter in the last few days? I'm relatively new and am cognizant of my bike control and climbing resulting in much less lateral movement across the road. But I didn't think that would amount to a whole tenth over 8 miles! Could it be something else? Weather? Computer inaccuracy?

Have you changed tires?

Or maybe the weather's gotten a tad warmer over the past few days, increasing the pressure in your tires and making them slightly bigger. |

Make sure the sensor is close enough to the magnet. If it's borderline, it's possible that your computer is missing the occasional revolution.

maybe like you said, lateral movement (especially in climbs), but maybe even you're naturally taking a better "line" in curves, the more you get to know your route, thus shaving the distance?

oh and I believe the faster you go, the shorter the distance becomes... or something like that (see A. Einstein ;) :D
