Default Cycling hack!

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.
