I love my computer. My DH got me a new one for Xmas which includes an altimeter ( I stuck my old one on my MTB) . Hey if Im gonna ride hills its nice to know how much climbing Im doing. I cant imagine riding now and not having a computer to tell me how far I have come, what time it is (useful when you need to pick up the kids from school) and how fast or should I say for me how slow Im going.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
