odometer?

I'd like to have some gizmo to monitor my mileage (20" wheels). I guess it's some kind of
(detachable) computer nowadays. Two other requirements: reliability and easy battery change
(standard batteries - like AAA are preferable, but other types are Okay)

There are a lot of different brands and most work well. I don't think any use AAA batteries. I think
they all use watch or hearing aid batteries, which are lightweight, compact, inexpensive, and last a
long time.

 

most models will hold a coin battery like a cr2032 - which is the same size battery that your likely
to find in your car remote, or on your computer's motherboard. Check out www.cateye.com for some
computers (proper term) for your bicycle. The most basic models will give you much more than just
basic miles, expect to pay around $25.

Re-think the easy battery change requirement. Batteries on cyclocomputers last for multiple years. I
had a Cateye purchased in 1990 or so that I finally had to replace the battery on two years ago.
(lost the Cateye in a move last year).
