Ok, or does it look a bit ****ish?

Then I suppose I'd better get one. I've been considering it for a
while but I wasn't sure if it'd look a bit daft or not.

Which cycle computer would you guys recommend?

Who cares if it looks ****tish, and why should it anyway? Apart from being a
point of interest the information provided can aid navigation.
I haven't got one (but often refer to riding partners for info) which adds
to the fun of being on a way-marked enduro, not only haven't I a clue as to
where I am but also am clueless as to how far I've ridden and therefore how
much further to go, sort of like where am I man? :-)

Depends on what you use your bike for.

If you want to know how far/fast you are going then they are good.

If you are just posing on the high street, buy a very expensive one :-)

If you are just plugging mud in a local quarry, you probably don't need
one.

Way to go, that man. I doff my cap to you in deference to a most worthy
outlook on navigational techniques ..

I presume you come from the Mark Thatcher school of navigation ..

Yes to both .. but does it _really_ matter that much?

If you need one, you need one. If you look like a **** with a cycle
computer, you almost certainly also look like a **** without one. and
vice-versa of course ..

FFS, when you get to be a big boy you'll care less what something
*looks* like and do it because you want to! Don't you think it's a
little silly worrying if a MTB might look daft with a cycle computer?
Have you ever noticed an MTB with one and thought "That looks a little
bit daft"? No? Why do you think anyone is going to notice yours? Or
care if they do?

If thats the case then my mtb with a cycle computer + GPS must be really
****ish!

:-D

I'm happy with my sigma bc500 bike computer.

Why would it? It's not exactly big or noticable.
