Had one years ago......in the 70's. Took off my electronic speedo a few years ago and don't miss it. The thing is, on your normal routes, you already know the distance and a stop watch, pencil and paper will tell you your mph . My average mph hasn't changed in ten years it goes up as I get in shape at the end of the season but not by much. Top speed, a ridiculous 49 mph down a hill......I* *probably have gone faster since but don't want to know and I try to avoid it. Top cruising speed on flat ground somewhere in the high 20's. I'm getting older and have less time to ride my speed isn't going up and my distances don't matter either. The only thing I look at is how long have I been riding....its easy to estimate mileage over varied terrain and its usually in the area of 12-15 per hour for me. Maps are better however. I just look at where I left from and where I end up then look at my watch and measure the distance on the map then its paper and pencil time if I just have to know how fast I covered the distance. Usually I am too lazy to figure it out and soon forget about it. The older I get the less concerned I am even about how far I have ridden I just want to ride. For maintenance purposes I go more by months or hours on the bike by estimation but lately I just lube my chain, pump the tires, give the bike the once over and ride. Its a mindset that takes a while to develop.....old habits die hard.
