I always wondered how fast and far I ride so I bought generic cyclocomputer from ebay. It works well, but it's a little sluggish with it's readings because of the cold weather.
It's easy to read, has 2 big buttons, water proof, and feels solidly built. There are a few minor issues though. The instructions, and the screw used to attaches the fork sensor could be better.
This unit does what it's suppose to and it's only $5. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a basic bicycle computer.
P.S. I'm gonna change the way the wire is routed. Just too lazy to do it now.
UPDATE FEBRUARY 20, 2012: Without going nuts, the top speed I can achieve on this bike is about 20kph (12mph) on level ground.
"Tough as a rhinoceros, fleet as a gazelle, durable as a crocodile, easy to maintain and designed specifically to provide effective, affordable transportation to those who need a bike that gets the job done-no matter if it's dirt roads or psycho-habituated roadways. As a sign of our commitment to the goodness that is the bicycle, for every two AfricaBikes sold, one is donated to a good works cause in challenged areas around the world." - KONA

Removed The Fenders
I removed the fenders a week or two ago for no particular reason. It was just something to do on a cold winter day. haha
This won't be a permanent thing. Sooner than later I'll have to put them back on. So far, the winter in Toronto has been dry and mild enough to ride without fenders.
There are a few advantages for removing them.

- It's easier to transport in my car after removing the wheels.
- Knocked off a bit over 1 pound or 477 grams.
