Computers and HRMs are merely means to an end. The computer lets me know how I'm doing, but even without one, I would be able to tell if I'm dragging (I know because I've tried riding without using it).
Like I said, let me ride 15 mph for extended distances and I'm a happy camper. Sure, faster would be even better, but not the main goal.
The HRM would be a plus to achieve that primary goal.
