Cycling hack!

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

There I was, watching the odometer about to click over as it
hit the 3000 kilometre mark.. and the display started flashing
right on "3000.0" ... Weird, I thought.

I get home, and discover the flashing was because the internal battery
was going flat.. and with it all the nice statistics of my sub-par
cycling habit.

I hacked a simple solution up, in several meanings of the word :)

Very nice. Sure as hell beats my attempts to up my maximum recorded speed
with a bunch of keys. This was about 20 years ago, but from memory I got
all the way up to the grand speed of 18mph!

What's the lifetime average speed? It's like my commute home -- my
average speed starts out as 60km/h, and then I spend the rest of the
35 minutes whittling it down to 40km/h.
