I used to have Cateye brand computer on my non-Riv bike (I'm only 2 months in on a Joe A.), and found it helpful--it pushed me when I was slowing down, for example, because I could SEE how slow I was going, However, now I can "know" the same thing without the computer; I feel it.
Also, it's more fun to just ride as I feel and look around than just down to my computer. I must admit, though, that I do turn on Strava at the beginning of the ride and check it when I think it's time to turn around to start home. I have my mile markers (10 miles, 15 miles) so I really don't need to check it if I'm on a familiar route. Interesting in that I'm not going any slower now, but a little faster (OK, Strava does tell me that and I do look at the end of the ride...)
