I have the Planet Bike 9.0 Protege wireless, which matches your criteria. There is a wired version too.
Once in awhile, I get funky max speed numbers (likely due to wireless interference).
There might be other good choices.

Planet Bike Protege 9. I always recommend wired comps, NOT wireless, it "Just Works" - if you look around for anyone having trouble with a computer, 9 times out of 10, it's wireless.
Setup is about the same as for any of them. Display is relatively large, clear and uncluttered for all that there's a lot of info on there.
