[QUOTE=palesaint;17445481]Hey HP, Has anyone mentioned Mio as yet another alternative to Garmin?
Cyclo 3.0" WIFI - Mio/QUOTE]
I just bought their optical heart rate wrist band and like it a lot. If their other products are as good, they are worth giving them a try.

Data collecting is a brain wiring thing. Some people do it, some don't. It's neither right or wrong in context with the enjoyment derived.
It's sort of like a clean desk vs. messy desk type of thing or fat wallet full of junk vs. money clip with the bare essentials. The brain knows what it wants. Think Meyers-Briggs testing or any of the other brain typing theories. Never assume that one knows how another individual should act.

Used to be a wireless model that came under different brand names, Ascent, etc. Way passé now. I have picked them up for $6 on ebay. They are getting harder to find these days. The computer never wears out, but when I get another bike, I need more mounting brackets. so I have several of the computers just lying around. I am fixed for life. Recently got three for $20 of a different, no-name one from China. Works great and looks a lot like the Ascent.
Here is the search page results on ebay: wireless bike computer | eBay

Funny you should mention that. I've been a data collector since childhood, born with it. I started keeping snowfall records back when I was a kid. Still do it to this day. But I have zero interest in cycling data, that's not why I cycle.
Catch me if you can Immenseness II. lol
(Of course we all know who's Immenseness I.)

I can't speak for others, but let me assure you that I had no intention of denigrating your cycling. Clearly you add several layers of pleasure of types that are desired by you onto the basic riding experience that I enjoy. I just meant to point out that without those additional purposes for the riding, the electronic assistance is not required. As for the electronics taking the joy out of riding, well that shouldn't be the case. Your current dilemma is, however, and unfortunate example of how it can happen. Good luck in getting it resolved quickly and cheaply. I wonder if you have considered any Wahoo products and whether they might help you out.
