thing about computers is, at least for me, I spend a lot of time CALIBRATING the damn thing. You set it based on the wheel and tire combination, but that's never correct so for the next seventeen rides you are tweaking it. You watch every mile marker like a hawk to confirm how close to accurate your computer is. So you start doing all sorts of calculations in your head like "OK, that last mile marker my computer said 9.52 instead of 9.50….that means, I need to check it the next time." Then the next time it says 10.54 and you are like "a-ha! I'm onto you. So, halfway through this ride, I'll waste 10 minutes figuring out how to access the calibration function (with one button) so I can take 1 index off the wheel-diameter…or is it add 1 index….hmmm…..doe s smaller number produce a lower or higher reading….hmmmm" And then when you turn around on the ride, you are like…."OK gotta stop at PRECISELY at this mile marker and place the wheels down without letting them turn unnecessarily so I can continue my certifiable obsession with accuracy on the return trip……" then the next time your tires aren't the same pressure and you even more screwed up…
meanwhile a thousand spring trees have passed you by that you will never again get to see in just that way in just that same afternoon light and thinking about something elegant and free and beautiful…...…..
