No computer here. I live on an island I've got a limited selection of routes and I know the distances for most of those. I actually do track my time on a bike as it's part of some health goals we have where I work, but time is easy. And as most of my miles are commuting in town I'm mostly stop and go (and then sprint) anyway. I suppose if I rode a bike with derailleurs it might be fun to have one for measuring cadence but as I'm on a Quickbeam my cadence is what it is. I try to keep it reasonable, but riding in traffic often means I'm changing from crawling to sprinting to stopping and back again a lot. And when I get to do longer rides (trying for once or twice a week) hills are hills and with no easy gear changes often it just means jamming away and on the way down pedaling often doesn't do a thing.
Back in the 80's when I rode a bike that was way too small and wore clothes that were way too tight I had one but all it ever told me was that I was slower than everyone else around me. I still am, but I'm doing it in comfort. :-) Aloha On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 5:44 AM, PATRICK MOORE <bertin...@gmail.com> wrote: > How many of y'all have computers on your bikes?
