That's one reason I bother with a "smart" phone -- it tracks mileage and
routes and even elevation, but stays demurely in a rear jersey or side
pants pocket, and it basically is one gadget in place of half a dozen --
more if you count computers for each of 4 bikes.
("Smart" phone my ass. Electronic gear is no smarter than a hammer or
window, because the essential element of "smart" -- consciousness or
subjectivity -- is just as much absent -- *essentially* absent. So much for
"AI," unless something happens as happened with "The Head" in CS Lewis's
blackly comic "That Hideous Strength.")
