Garmin has introduced a new set of speed/cadence sensors. One neat feature is that the sensors store up to 300hrs of activity data between syncs with a bluetooth device (bike computer, smart watch or phone). Great for commuting, when we don't need nav/stats but may want an odometer. Or for touring.
A couple days ago my bike computer was not working, I had bumped it and it was no longer close enough to the spoke magnet to be readable. Without instant feedback like I get, you could easily get home and find that the sensor had shifted on the fork or stay and the result was that you went zero distance.
