I gave up on bike-computers a long time ago. Fiddling with wires and sensors was more trouble that it was worth for me. Then, last year a friend showed me their Garmin gps gadget. No wires, no link to the bike, just a gps that maps where you have been, distance, max speed, average speed, height gained etc. Download it to the laptop and I have total distance cycled in the year etc etc. All this for the price of 32 coffees from Starbucks. It is amazing, and like the iPod I do not take it for granted. There is plenty wrong in the modern world, but there are some things that are right.
