Cyclocomputer
A cyclocomputer, cycle computer, cycling computer or cyclometer is a device mounted on a bicycle that calculates and displays trip information, similar to the instruments in the dashboard of a car. The computer with display, or ''head unit'', usually is attached to the handlebar for easy viewing. Some GPS watches can also be used as display. History In 1895, Curtis H. Veeder invented the ''Cyclometer''. The Cyclometer was a simple mechanical device that counted the number of rotations of a bicycle wheel. A cable transmitted the number of rotations of the wheel to an analog odometer visible to the rider, which converted the wheel rotations into the number of miles traveled according to a predetermined formula. After founding the Veeder Manufacturing Company, Veeder promoted the Cyclometer with the slogan, ''It's Nice to Know How Far You Go''. The ''Cyclometers success led to many other competing types of mechanical computing devices. Eventually, cyclometers were developed ...
