Although many folks are now using GPS based units or smart phone apps, there are still nice olde tyme wheel-magnet-counting cycling computers available -- to my eye anyway. My most recent cyclocomputer purchase was a Cateye Strada Slim which I like better than any other traditional cycling computer I've owned over the years. Very small unit with big display, lightweight (if that matters), wireless, batteries last multiple seasons.
I also have Garmin Touring GPS based unit, which I like, but that's really a very different animal. If I need/want turn-by-turn routing, which I often do, then I'm grateful to have the GPS option. But if navigation or performance data for post-ride analysis isn't needed then the Cateye is way more convenient, smaller, lighter, doesn't need to be charged prior to each use and, well, just feels like enough computer tech on my bars for JRA. There are plenty of other options for a traditional cyclocomputer, but if you haven't seen the Cateye Strada Slim you may want to have a look at it -- https://www.bikeinn.com/bike/cateye-rd310-strada-slim/124645/p?utm_source=google_products&utm_medium=merchant&id_producte=500126&country=us&gclid=CjwKCAjwmrn5BRB2EiwAZgL9orqIIzblpWn7DRF55PVWoPe_yHkSDUYZB_-EvULSbn7SbqYRWCV_xhoCfLgQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Cheers, -Jack K.
