Thread: Bike computer missing

Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by Bob Nichols
I rode to the coffee shop this morning, locked my bike to a power pole out front. When I left I was about 2 miles from the coffee shop and noticed my Sigma BC 906 computer was gone. I do know that it was there when I left home, but didn't notice then I left the coffee shop. I don't know if someone took it or it fell off. Seems unlikely that it ...

I'll keep an eye out for it around here. Anything easy to be removed has the potential for being taken. Hard to imagine a computer falling off.

People steal for the fun of it. Some punk probably stole to see it break when he threw it against a tree or rock. I had a jerk steal a rental bike just to roll into traffic to see what would happen.

They fall off. One of my co-workers just lost his Cateye Strada last week, and they twist lock also. He saw it fall, but doubled back and couldn't find it. Fortunately for him I had a spare since I pulled all mine when I bought a Garmin

I like it because I can tell all my "couch potato" friends how far an old fart like me rode. HA! I found the same computer on Amazon for $18.58, so that's a lot better than someone stealing the whole bike.

I don't have mine on my commuter - I had one for a year to see how much I ride in a year (3000km? I forget) My new bike has one, just so I can see how much I'll ride it in a year and to see what the speed difference between a mountain and road bike is. I probably won't replace it when it breaks.

If you can't just enjoy the ride without needing to know the answers to those questions, I kinda feel sorry for you; sort of like people that can't enjoy a hike in the woods without killin' something...

When your doctor asks how much exercise you've done,it is best to have accurate numbers.

In fact i like to know how many miles my bike has on it for maintenance reasons...and to see how long the original parts last.

The point could be to turn 'Dunno's' into conversational data points. randya has a point; why does speed and distance measurement make the difference between a good ride or an okay one? I've had bike computers on and off for the last nine years, mostly off. Fun to get an idea of how long a ride is, but after a...
