This forum has a lot of negativity regarding bike computers, <<>>
Don't get me wrong - I typically don't leave home without my 705, and been known to double-up with that and a Cateye double-wireless to make sure I've got everything covered.

BUT... if someone is unmotivated and discouraged about where they are, going out the first few times, without a blatant reminder of how far back they might have fallen, is a great way to just get back on the bike. Tracking fitness comes later, once you're back in love with the joy of just being on the bike.
