Ditching my wireless
Going back to a hardwired cyclocomputer.
Was out for an easy fifteen mile ride today and found out I put on an extra 15 miles while enjoying a couple of beers and March madness at a convenient rest stop.
All I want in a computer is overall mileage, trip distance and a clock.
There's too much RFI,WIFI, HIFI, LOFI and OHMY for me to put up with anymore.

As long as you don't mind the look of wires than go for it. I had a $30 Cateye wired computer on my old bike and it worked great. I got the $65 double wireless version of the same computer and it works great as well.

Because the Blackburn doesn't have GPS, and the Garmin doesn't have an altimeter.
I want to get the Garmin Edge 500. Because that will do both, and more.

Had a HRM for a while that would show me at 250+BPM while I was driving my car to go get a new tube. I pulled over twice to check my pulse the old fashioned way before I decided it was just the car's electronics interfering.
