I usea $14 cheapo form Performance. I have a fancy cateye that reads cadence and revolutions on the ride blah blah blah. More hassle with the batteries and sensor on the chainstay not worth it.

After the ride, I care about time in saddle, and average speed, but not on the bike.
Me neither. When another rider like Hillbashers asks, "you're going to spin that small gear for the entire ride?" you know your cadence is good.
..I don't know what it was but it must be high enough to avoid being considered mashing.

I'm too busy playing with my FLip to monitor elevation. Besides, this dude Hillbasher I ride with provides me with the information from his Garmin!
