This is not my first Velo 7. I have used Cateye cycling computers for many years. The Velo 7 is on my bikes and I have a Velo 9 on another. All of them are the wired version. I have logged thousands of km in a variety of weather and terrain conditions. They are reliable, easy to read, and simple to operate. I have tried other cc's in the past, both wired and non-wired. The Velo 7 wired is my choice for an economic way to add a little hands on enjoyment to riding. I also use a cycling app for GPS tracking and comparisons.
