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

My wireless just chews through batteries. I got sick of replacing them so took the whole thing off.

If I go back to using a computer I'd probably try the cheapest Garmin. Or not.

There's another forum here for this. "Upgrades" to the basics are cadence, heart rate, gps. Keep in mind you need a wire for cadence and can just get a wrist monitor for heart rate. Also button and character size matter and how many things you can have on the screen at once. For the price have to say the Cateye Strada Cadence is hard to beat if you want cadence and Cateye Micro for wireless without the cadence wire. The Cateye Enduro is supposed to be a good basic one too but I don't know that one.
