+1 sorry data lovers I totally agree, on my bike is the one time during the day that I can get away form data and technology, plus I don't need any of it. I check the weather and the time before I leave, I know what my cadence, exertion, and distance is simply from the experience of riding my commute well over 1000 times in all weather. Plus it's one less thing to buy, break, and replace batteries on. I used to have them on my other bikes but I've tossed them. It really irritates my road riding buddies, they look at me like a dog being shown a card trick, it just does not compute.
