Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Actually, if you want to put a computer on your bike to track speed/mileage, hey, it's your bike, right? No issues on my part with it.

Same here. I think it's a Cateye Mity 8, migrated down from the race bike when I got a wireless. I also strap my HRM to the bars if it's a training ride.

Same thing here. The micro is pretty much bombproof, i've used it in downpours that would have killed most cheap computers and it still keeps going.

you can easily use the speedometer, but i suppose it is a bit easier with the cadence reading.
