I hear you. Years ago I used cycle computers, mostly for recreational rides. The ones I had went through batteries pretty quickly -- I'd get about a year our of a new battery. One year I stopped replacing the batteries, and found that I enjoyed my rides more without that darn LCD display telling me exactly how fast I was going, whether my pace was getting faster, etc. By the time I started commuting seriously, I had long abandoned my cyclometers. Sometimes I miss having an odometer, but that's it.
