Lots of info for the casual rider
I recently bought a new bike, and rather than transfer my older model Cateye, I bought this upgrade model. I normally take an 8-mile ride on my hybrid bike 2 - 3 times per week. Basically, I want to know how fast I’m going and how far I’ve travelled. I bought this Cateye because it also tells me how many calories I’ve burned. It also gives the time, total distance, maximum speed, average speed and elapsed time.
It is very easy to install and set-up (no tools required), as well as simple to operate. Even if you do more intense riding, this device should exceed your expectations. You get a lot for the price.
Update (5/19/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Great value, accurate, easy but flimsy install
I have had this item for a few weeks. The distance accuracy is very good, I compared it by using a car, and [...] right on the money. I assume the timing aspect is accurate, so the speed indicated should be right on as well.
I got this particular model because of the estimated calorie consumption. I am not sure what formula they use, but it seems pretty accurate, and the results tend to agree with various tables and formulas I have seen on the internet for “Calories used while bicyling”.

Solid Bike Computer
I’ve had the bike computer for about a month and have been very happy thus far. The instructions for installation weren’t the best, but if you take your time, you should be up and running relatively quickly. It’s easy to scroll through the readouts and reset for new trips. I don’t have any problems reading the display except at night (but I rarely ride my bike at night).
I’m only giving it 4 stars because the brackets for holding the computer and sensor seem a little cheap. Similar models have a plastic bracket to hold it in place, while this model does not. However, I usually ride on a limestone path and haven’t experienced any problems with the sensor or computer staying in place.
