I don't plan to buy a cycle computer. I believe fitness watches can do what you want. And I will be a tester of that, though I think I will continue to use ridewithgps on my phone. I really like it. I just wish I didn't have to hit RECORD and START. I also wish I didn't have to hit STOP and SAVE. It would be so nice if it just inferred that I'm riding and then asked me later to confirm. I believe that would be possible.
