Having just put a new replacement cordless computer on the
bike, I took it for a spin only to find I was bowling along
at 40mph plus.
On inspection I discovered the answer to improved fitness.
When fitting a new sensor, leave the old one on too.
Doh.

Push your pulse up another 60 bpm. Wear your HRM on the same
wrist as your watch.[1] Works for me...

Why mess with computers when all you need is a milometer
and a watch!

Why do you care about distance? There are only a few
occasions where it makes navigation easier.
The rest of the time, enjoy the minutes and hours spent
cycling and forget all this ego-enhancing obsession with
distance and speed.

Because it's a point of interest! And if by mileometer you
mean one of those things that used to fit to a front drop-
out and have a pawl attached to a spoke why bother when a
computer is so much better (that's if they're even
available).

I always used to think a computer was nothing more than a
pointless gimmick until I was given one for a Christmas
present. I still enjoy cycling just as much without one, but
having the computer adds a whole extra dimension to my
cycling experience.

...and probably cheaper.
Being a luddite for reasons of snobbery is just perverse.
