I have no idea if these are any good, but for 5 bucks it seems like a steal.

for basics, any speedo is pretty much fine. once you get into it and you want to know everything, buy a garmin
so what other features are handy? i thought speed and distance would be the main use for a bike computer.
Yes, for a beginner on the flat. (My bike is lurking in the corner unused, so I am not the best to answer this & I used a $10 one!!) But GPS equipped (a little more than this price!!) can give handy details like vertical distance travelled, map, log speed/distance between points, energy burnt, heart rate, & so many other details. eg https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=160&pID=69043
It depends on your reason to ride. At this price, grab one & enjoy the ride.
Mind you, a smart phone can log many of those details - including speed & distance!
Ah mattgal - its the same unit, good details & photos, but cheaper - Champion!
Why would anyone neg your handy tip, unless there is a problem with the supplier - in which case tell us! (So many people already hate SS, but I've never had a problem.)
Awesome find on an already tempting deal.
You've sold me.

Just a word of caution. I bought an identical-looking unit from DealExtreme and the build quality on mine was fairly poor. Specifically, the display stopped working properly and would only show partial digits unless I placed pressure on the screen.
Mine worked for a while as did a brand name one which I returned for a replacement that I have yet to fit. I think the weakness is the magnet spinning on the spoke passed the sensor. All too much effort!
Yes. Wireless is less hassles, but another battery to replace.
Have you tried using the GPS on a smart phone? Just need a mount for it.
There are also bicycle speedometer apps, athough I haven't tried them.
I'll bite, will be handy if it works well enough
