Bikes: Some bikes. Hell, they're all the same, ain't they?

I started this round of bikes with a wired Strada. Nice computer.

I later got a Strada Wireless for another bike. It worked great, too, at least until I got a high-powered headlight (Dinotte 200), which interfered and the computer couldn't do anything. Switched that bike to a Blackburn Neuro 5.0 with HR and cadence. Worked great until it quit recognizing the chest strap, and I also think that the cadence/speed sensor's battery started dying. I took it off of that bike when I sold it, and it's sitting in a shoebox now.

I've got a Flight Deck on the road bike now. Wireless, which I'm not completely excited about, but the control buttons in the hoods are neat (if too easy to hit accidentally). I don't miss not having HR. I also don't know if it's vulnerable to RF interference. Maybe I'll keep it as long as I have these shifters, maybe I'll take it off the next time I rewrap the bars.

I think the next computer I'll get will be a wired Strada Cadence. If I get a HRM again, it'll be a watch so that I can use it off the bike.
