I use Mapmyride, mainly for checking calories earned (so i can eat more) and its also nice to know how many miles i've done. Today i noticed that they have changed the voice ( which tells you miles and speed) each mile or K ,
to a horrid nasal american voice, most off putting, i'll get used to it i suppose.
Do you like knowing your speed and milage whilst cycling?
I tried Strava but couldnt get used to it, besides Strava feels like a bit too grown up for me !!!

A cheapo bike computer from Mapllins does the trick for me. Not so fussed about the speed - by 20 miles it will have always settled around 15 mph, no matter of terrain, weather, how hard I peddle etc ! The mileage is useful, its good to be able to count down the miles until the next Jelly Baby.

I worked out how to strangle the voice after the first outing, now peace and tranquility reigns:smile:.
No, I don't feel any need to know speed or distance while out, but distance is interesting when back home.

Distance and speed, with total distance rather than trip distance(unless it's a planned longer trip than normal).
