I know the new bike is fast, but that was more than a little silly. I suspect it was picking up interference from my BlackBerry, or from other people's cellphones, or from the power cables I rode under. I now have a much more basic CatEye Tomo from the LBS, which is much less beautiful. But it seemed to work just fine when I took the bike round the block this evening to check I had installed it right. Only thing I have not been able to work out is how to install the kms I had already done on the old computer onto the new one.
That's typical. Some power lines will light up a fluorescent light bulb (a little) if you just stand under them.
