And for the tech-lover in us all, how about something that tells you speed, heart rate, distance and altimeter reading, all in one and all at once.  Meet the Sigma Sport 2006 MHR.  Also great, you can use this computer on different bikes you own as without having to reprogram it to a different wheel size, sweet!  $107
