Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Any further input on wireless computers and peoples first hand experiences as to if they interfere with other sensors and computers in group ride settings?

The cheaper you go the more basic you get. I had a £15 computer that was wired for cadence, wireless for speed, that worked fine. I think if you buy a cheap, completely wireless one it's not likely to work very well. The cable isn't that noticeable and it depends what the bikes for and how bothered you are about looks. This computer was on my commuter, didn't mind. Now got a Madone that i couldn't bear to have a wire running down (VAIN)! Bought Garmin 305 that i mount on both now.

As a physicist, you should know that all measured data are inaccurate to some degree
