The best thing I did was to remove the computer from the bars. I felt like I was always looking down and trying to push for higher speeds, longer distance, etc. Now I just turn on the phone app for Strava, throw it in my jersey pocket, and focus on the road and scenery. Interestingly, my average speeds have gone up slightly because I'm not tiring myself out on segments for no good reason.

Cheers.
