Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Well what features are you looking for? Cateye Astrale 8 is a good computer in my opinion, but might be too "basic" for some people.

# Current speed, speed comparator, ride time, trip distance, dual odometer (for 2 wheel sizes), average speed, maximum speed, clock, and temperature
# Mode changing made easy, push the computer forward in the spring-loaded bracket. The computer IS the button! Like $25 shipped.
