How do you balance going so slowly? You must be a track standing ace. Seriously though the majority of people who use bike computers tend to go faster than 2.5 MPH and therefore it's not a big deal. It realates to the fact (for most people) that if you're under 2.5 MPH you're most likely going to stop and so the computer starts its shutdown timer in order to save the battery life. I haven't come across a comp that does register below 2 MPH save for the old gear type which never was very accurate to begin with. The computer IS working the way it should. It just looks like you need to put a little more kick into that hill or skip the hill until you've got the oomph to hit it a bit faster.
