LOOKING FOR COMMENTS ON BIKE COMPUTERS...

Hello everyone. I am writing an article on the evolution of bicycle
technology for a new website/AvantGo channel that specializes in
cyclists on the move. Specifically, I am focusing on bike computers.
My approach is to briefly mention the first generation (i.e. Cateye
Solar) as a way of setting the stage, then fast-forwarding to today's
latest-and-greatest, like the Palm-based BikeBrain.

That having been said, has any of you ever used a BikeBrain?
If so, what are your impressions? Good? Bad? Indifferent?

Alternatively, have you used other bike computer technology that is
worthy of mention? Any comments or links are welcome. Anything goes in
this article, so please respond ASAP if you've had noteworthy user
experiences with bike computer technology.

For the sake of speed, please respond via e-mail.

Thank you in advance,

levyland@nospamcanada.com

I wrote a review of the BikeBrain in my magazine this month.

What AvantGo channel?  I haven't seen any cycling channels other than
my own.

Hi Bryan. Thanks for your response. I'll definitely check your piece
out. I've visited your site previously, and am most impressed. Please
let me know if you're ever looking for 'bent writers with a Canadian
perspective (I live in London, Ontario, and am picking up my Vision
R40 in the spring).

The channel is MobileBikes. It's just been launched, which is likely
why you  may not have seen it yet.

Great write-up on the BikeBrain, Bryan.  I'm still toying with the idea of
getting one.  You mentioned that the company is working on a software
update -- I noticed they haven't updated the software in quite some time.
This is one of the reasons I've held off -- I like to see more activity in
updates, etc. from a company.
