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

Computer question

Hey guys,
I got a road bike recently and need a biking computer that will tell me the speed im traveling, total distance, time, and the two things i would prefer but are not 100% mandatory are my heart rate and the grade im climbing.
I want to keep it around $100 maybe $150 and i want something that is reliable as I will be putting LOTS of miles on it.
Posted this in the electronic section but had very few views and I want to buy a computer ASAP!

Thanks.

You need to decide how much you want HR and gradient? You can find great computers with distance/speed for $25 or so. HR and gradient/elevation costs a lot more.
