Not really fussed about cadence and altitude but I do like to know how cold it is 🙂

Garmin Edge 500…though does all the stuff you don’t want too!

i have a stemcap thermometer.

stem captain

get a fridge thermometer?

trail_rat I have one already on another bike. But this is for my road bike so guessed I should get a computer on it to.

Anyone? Sigma, Cateye, VDO?

not Treks own wireless one…

Those self-adhesive temperature strips from Maplins, RS etc are pretty good £10 or so for a pack of 10

Stick one on the handlebars

Hmm nice idea. But I would like a computer based one.

Won’t any computer with an altimeter function show the temperature?

I’ve a VDO MC1.0 that I got about 3 years ago (bought a wired one to equip two difeerent bikes without having to buy an expensive extra wireless sensor).

Still works. Temperature seems accurate (more so than altitude!)

the VDO looks good but doesn’t appear to be in production any more 🙁

i looked at bike computers with thermometers a couple of years ago, theres a couple around (cant remember names though, maybe one of the cateye ones), but the ones i saw had the temp units linked to the distance units, ie you could only have degrees C with distnce set to Km, or F with miles, and as i cant work in F or KM i didnt bother getting one.

If this bothers you, worth downloading the manual for it before you buy.

lakesrider interesting point i’m the same I cant think in Km’s or F’s.

Maybe I will just get another StemCaptain then 🙂

Oh, cool, units in C and km, km much easier for OS maps 🙂 goes off to look at computers with thermometers…..

If the rock bike is wet, it’s raining.
If the rock bike is swaying, the wind is blowing.
If the rock bike casts a shadow, the sun is shining.
If the rock bike does not cast a shadow and is not wet, the sky is cloudy.
If the rock bike is not visible, it is foggy.
If the rock bike is white, it is snowing.
If the rock bike is coated with ice, there is a frost.
If the ice is thick, it’s a heavy frost.
If the rock bike is bouncing, there is an earthquake.
If the rock bike is under water, there is a flood.
If the rock bike is warm, it is sunny.
If the rock bike is missing, there was a tornado theft.

great sugden . but what temperature is it 😉

This is the one i was looking at a while back but i thought it was a bit pricey for what i wanted at the time.

Was the only one i found with temperature on it.

Edit – £36 on CRC

Thanks MrTall £40 is a bit more than I was thinking to. $25 is cheap for this I think:

There is a £7 one on ebay 🙂 from china so good very product nice.

I have 2 stem captains that i bought at xmas, one clock and one thermometer.

I got them at stemcaptain.co.uk for £16 each posted and they came really quickly. I’m liking them so far and trying to get my LBS to stock them.

ooh MrTall thats it im sold!

The cheapo wireless computer I got from ASDA has a thermometer, along with calories burnt, a backlight and all sorts of fancy gubbins to distract you from the road ahead.

Why do we/you need to know the temperature whilst riding?

I like to know the temperature everywhere I have two digital thermometers inside at home plus one outside. I suppose I am curious and like numbers?
