on the flip side of that, don't use anything. Wear a watch and ride by time not distance
IMO, spot on. Utilize the information that one wants and just ignore the other stuff. Just 10 days ago I was on a midnight 100 mile road ride when a 150lb wild hog came up and side swiped me resulting in a crash. I know
exactly how far into the 100 I was(33.4miles), wear this happened, the speed I was riding at when it happened(20.1mph) and down to 0, how far I managed to stay upright before I hit the ground and cracked my scapula + cracked 2 ribs + punctured left lung, how long it took to gather my wits about me almost passing out going into shock while waiting for my buddy to come back to me(10 minutes), then ride the 4.5 miles home not knowing my injuries. Looking at the results to me
is neat but then if all I wanted to know was speed/distance I had that also.
