Does anyone use a basic bike computer? I don't even need cadence. Seems like I have heard of one that has a thermometer. I would like that.
Brand/model recommendations? Wired/wireless?
Thanks!

wireless is comparatively expensive. and they go nuts under power lines.
if I were you, i would take the bike to a bikeshop and tell them what you want.
Installing is not so easy. DH always does mine.

DH installed the last one and did a great job. It was a Cateye, but I let it go with the bike.

I had the PlanetBike b4 the Garmin. It worked fine and was easy to install. When I got the Garmin, we moved it over to Meg's bike quite easily.
It does have the temp function you are looking for.
