I'm a fan of the wired Cateye cyclometer. I'm only interested in distance per ride and total/year. I've used it for 30 years. I love how basic it is and needs a battery replacement now and then. Trip mileage and total mileage always at fingertips. Never have to think about anything else. I bought a new one for my sparkly Mermaid Platy. Kate in Trenton, NJ
