Cycling Computer Carks

I see back in April last year, I was up to 14000 with my "new bike". The other day the computer died. It was at 17051Km.

You cannot ride a bike with a computer!

After a few days, I really missed it, mainly not knowing the time, so today bought an $8.00 model from KMart. It tells the time (hooray) as well as the usual other readouts.

Three Years and 14000Kms

Bought a new bike three years ago and I have just done a bit more than 14000 Km. Ten years ago that would have been 24000Km.

Slowing down!

Virtually all the shopping is done by bike. The other main use is social riding, and then the coffee.

Wonder how much longer I can keep going, but I did note on the news tonight that the ACT government has upped the allowed power for electric bikes to 300 watts (from 200). Tempting :-)

Bicycle Computer Battery Replacement

Well today I replaced the battery in my $10.00 Aldi Bicycle Computer.

$4.20 was the battery price, seems a bit ridiculous.

This is a remote posting using googlecl, will be interesting to see how it turns out, and whether I can also submit images this way as well.
