I'm done with bike computers. The next one that I buy will be a low end Garmin.

I'm tired of fiddling with the roll out process to set up the computer and having the computer stop working if the pickup/magnet relationship changes. I have several bikes so I keep computers on some but not all of them. I ride recumbents a lot so the wires for wired computers are usually too short and wireless computers have to be chosen with the distance from pick up to head in mind. For me, computers are a minor headache but one that never goes away.

I'm not a big data logger. Basically I only care about how fast I'm going and how far I've gone today. If I buy one Garmin it will tell me that without an elaborate set up and I'll be able to switch it from bike-to-bike at will.
