I have a love hate relationship with bike computers. The ones we had in the late eighties early nineties were absolute crap. Basic data was fine but few would last more than a few months for me. One clocked my max speed at 99 kph. On Fromme. Going up. I’ve broken off a number of the bar mounted ones, scuffed the screens broken three of those Project67 mounts. And don’t look at the screen while riding much and offer too many functions but still I like to track my rides. I’ve gone for the Garmin Fenix6S watch now. It allows me to track my skiing (mostly xc) hiking and riding. Still a lot of functions but I’m using the various health metrics to coach myself. Body battery, HRV, resting and max pulse, sleep score etc to rest better etc. Pretty happy with it I must say.
