Bicycle Computers.

Let's face it. They suck. It's like a cell phone. Sure it does the job for you, but is anyone really really happy with their bicycle computer? Do people know every mode that availible to them? every feature? Do you know this instant how to access it? I highly doubt it.

For years I had a Cateye Enduro, but it was fairly cryptic with secret dual modes and cryptic messages like "Av" or "Dst". Why can't computers speak real English?

And don't get me started on Heart Rate Monitors. Does anyone really use them for anything more than displaying their heartrate? Do you actually setup your training zones? Do people really know how to train with an HRM? Not to mention integrating them with a cycling computer is a UI nightmare.

Right now, I'm using the best I could find of the bunch - a Sigma BC1200. Tho they don't make it anymore.

My ideal computer:

- Speed
- Max Speed
- Average Speed
- Distance
- Stopwatch
- Clock
- Odometer
- Trip Up

other features:
- easy to read
- makes sense
- 2 buttons to go forward and backward
- waterproof
- Used for 1 bike only (if you want a computer on another bike, just buy another one)
- stem or handlebar mount
- wireless
- looks nice.
