I had a most unfortunate incident yesterday morning.
I was taking my small bike computer (like the one in the picture) out to attach it to my handlebars when it slipped out of my hands. I’d have to say that it bounced pretty well on the floor tiles.
It’s been telling me my speed, distance and a few other bits and pieces for quite a few years. It’s been on at least three of my five crossings of Australia, on two different bikes. I don’t know that it’s going to be much help from this point on.
Something inside has obviously cracked because the display is only showing bits and pieces of what I need to know. I still stuck it on the bike for the ride to work, hoping that it might get over the shock. I looked down during the ride at one stage to notice that I was doing ‘U’ kilometres per hour. I then pedalled really hard and got it up to ‘E’.
Somehow I think I could be in the market for a new one.

mine just stopped reading the data – no cut cables, the sensor seems alright…
everything just stays on zero – i’m a little perplexed, but too unmotivated to actually take it back to the cycle shop
Wow, I can only get up to C. You’re quick.
You know the worst thing about your cyclocomputer dying? All the kms you had racked up, and were watching, all your averages that you were keeping up with…they’re gone. Then there is the whole separation issue, and the developing of the relationship with the new one! 🙂 Hope you find a good one. Is it another Cateye for you?
