I could, but that would kinda ruin the ride. Thing is, i'm not in great condition, and i'm an old geezer. I can keep it over that speed, but i won't go as fast as i'm capable because i feel it's not healthy for your heart. I believe in a long ride thats not real strenuous, and some of my climbs would actually get your heart way up there even at 2.5 MPH. I stayed just under that today. Just that extra fraction of a MPH it would have taken to get the #$%& thing to register would have given me a much more strenuous workout........more than i feel good about doing.

I'll have to live with it i guess. No biggie, but it seems like it's been forever since i've bought anything that works the way it should. Wish i'd have known this before i bought it tho.....
