I love this more than you can know.
I will say out at the velodrome they have cracked down on computers saying you're not supposed to be able to see data while racing as it is a rule - so everyone just mounts them on their saddle or seatpost.
I have had it on my son's seatpost and while he never pays attention it helped me decifer what he wanted when he said he wanted a "smaller gear".
"you want to spin faster? have it be easier on the pedals?"
"A smaller gear dad...."
"OH it says here you were spinning at 130 cadence in that last race. you want a bigger gear?"
"DAD! I don't know. A smaller thing gear thing in the back!"
"Ah...got it"
