One Disadvantage of having a wireless cyclometer

I was on 84 just south of the 84/35 junction. I was heading southbound, and my wireless Blackburn Delphi 6.0 started registering my speed first at 30, then 50, then 40, then 51. Too many fluctuations in speed to be accurate. So I stopped at the intersection of 84 and W OLH. Even when stopped, my Blackburn was registering 25. So I headed up WOLH, and eventually, my speed registered 5, which is more like it. The rest of the ride registered speeds that were as expected. My thought was there is something along 84 near Skylonda that causes my Blackburn to go haywire.

Has anyone else experienced anything similar to this on their wireless bike computers? Polar? Garmin? VDO? Although it does feel nice to be going 50 without even trying, but I know it's not realistic.
