CycloComputer!
Ever since having read in the biker's blogs about a Cyclocomputer also known as Cycle-Computer, wanted to get one and accessorize the bike. According to one of the blogs it was available only in UP and had to buy through post.So, had temporarily dropped the idea.
But then, had been last week to the popular RR Cycle Mart in Ulsoor somewhat famous among the Bangalore bikers where I came across 2-3 models of the cyclocomputer. (Address - Its next to the Ulsoor Police Station, its a oneway so one has to go around to come to the proper road and find the shop)
I'd gone for the gloves but instead got lured by the cycle-computer although its kinda basic one. Has got 11 functions. The major being - Current Speed, Max Speed, Avg. Speed, Odometer and Trip Distance.
Costed me 900 bucks. Got it assembled from the shop on the ACT-105 i've got (the magnetic sensor's fixed on a spoke of the front wheel and the magnetic strip on the forck transfers it through the wire to the display device mounted on the handle bar, the display device is detachable though) and did a trial check on the way home, was impressed.
The only things lacking are caloriemeter and GPS (not so important though). But, within my constrained budget I think this was good enough.
Have used it while biking to work since then. Gives you a whole picture about your fitness and the areas you need to pull your socks on. And a fair idea about the pattern and figures while pedalling.
So, i think its kinda useful as it gives a scope of self-improvement. Needless to say, gadgets are wonderful. :)
