I really don't care about speed, distance, or where I am, in general.
I'm easily distracted, too. I've tried cyclo's and get tired of looking at them.

If the pitch changes on the spoke hum, I know the speed changed.
If I'm tired, I went my usual. If I'm really tired, I went longer. Maybe then I'll ask someone.

If I'm thirsty or hungry, I stop, doesn't matter where or when or how far I've been or have to go.

I don't ride pace lines, so no one really cares if I can go steady or streaky.

In triathlons, I pedal very hard for as long as I can, and this generally beats at least half the guys who know how fast they were riding.

My best 100 miler was between 4 and 5 hours, and that included stops. It was strenuous and not pleasant after the 60-mile rest stop. My body felt it was time to end that madness.

I have stripped many a cyclo off of bikes, put them in a bag, and gave them to Amani576. Someone just gave me another, a Cateye, and I don't like the idea of another wire I can neither clean up, polish, or route in a spartan manner.

That being said, it would be pretty cool to have some husky female voice tell me "don't stop..." so maybe a GPS is in my future...
