I guess I'm looking for the best value bike computer. I'd like time, current speed, and current distance. A "total distance" wouldn't be terrible to have, or temperature... don't need wireless or anything... not sure I even know what cadence is... definitely don't need GPS, probably don't need the heart rate thing... I guess what I'm saying is that I'd like to spend around $30, and get the most functional device available. Dogleg is a great name, as it makes me think of golf, which I don't get to play as often as I'd like

What information are you looking for from a bike computer? Basic ones that show current/avg/max speed, odometer, trip distance are pretty cheap. Ones that show cadence, have a large display and back lighting are more expensive, as well as ones that can be mounted on multiple bikes or use multiple tire sizes. Add wireless sensors, GPS, heart rate monitors and they get more expensive still.
