I'm glad I'm not the only one doing that. For my newer bike, I like my Garmin Edge and the connectivity it has with speed and cadence sensors as well as my lights and it looks good with the Blendr mount on my stem. But on my older bikes, I like to log my miles with Strava too so my Forerunner does that well without cluttering up my handlebars. When I look down at my stem and handlebars, It looks like what I saw in 1981 except some old man's hands are where mine should be.
