So, with the new year and looking to blast my old mileage record, how do I reset my odometers on my bike computers? Do I have to take out the batteries and reset it or is there an easier way?

Every computer is different. The manufacturers are generally pretty good about keeping instruction manuals on their web sites.
If you log at bikejournal.com, the site will track both lifetime and annual mileage for each bike without needing to reset your cyclo-computer.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

I just updated my bj info - I didn't use it at all in 2006 (sorry!). So I'll need to add up all 3 computers to see what I did last year. That's why I thought it would be easier to reset them all - all 3 different computers. Then I'd know what I did at a glance versus having to be at a computer to know my miles. Thanks, though. Guess I need to look it up.

On many models you have to press two buttons at the same time for a few seconds...
Be aware that you'll have to re-enter your wheel circumference...

On my computers that resets the trip distance but not the total odometer distance.
Taking out the batteries on any computer probably resets the wheel circumference to zero.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

hmmmm ... If you underestimate the wheel circumference, would that make you appear to be going faster than you really are?
yes I'm that desperate
