| Feb 25, 2014 at 16:32 | comment | added | 7thGalaxy | I like to have a cyclecomputer for the following reasons: Battery life, they're not so clunky or big, they're not so complex (one button on mine to cycle between speed, average speed, distance, time). You can see them in direct sunlight, and they are not so valuable that I feel the need to remove them every time I leave the bike locked up. Mine is also waterproof. I use a phone for the GPS maps, which is why I'd want it mounted, but I usually just have it zipped in my back pocket for strava. | |

I got rid of mine when I bought a cheap handlebar mount for the phone (which is waterproof so the mount wouldn't suit you, and it was easily broken by other handlebars in a bike shed). | |
