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

cyclometer, cycle computer (on stem or handlebar)

Just curious if your preference is to mount your cyclometer (cycle computer) on the (a) the handlebar or (b) the stem? If "handlebar" do YOU have a preference for mounting it on the right side of the stem, or the left side of the stem? I know this is personal preference, and is probably a dumb question, but what the heck. I was curious what other riders prefer. Thanks.

Stem. I like using the tops of my K-Wing. I've also put it on the top tube for giggles.

Stem. Though a buddy just got me a cool Xmas gift, the Acor mount. https://roadbikeparts.biz/2011/11/17/...-computer-bar/ Haven't ridden with it yet, but it does free up space on your handlebars.
