That's bike computers for you. Everybody wants to know how far and how fast they've ridden but that knowledge comes at a price. The price is a tendency to compare every ride to how far and fast you went yesterday. Therein lives the seed of dissatisfaction.
The Zen alternative is to forget the computer try to mindfully enjoy every day's ride for what it is.
