Says right here on the label, see?

A few days ago, I mentioned that my bike computer seemed to be on the fritz. I rode into work today with the thing still mounted for no real reason other than laziness. After a fairly ordinary day of driving, I was back at base talking to Marvin prior to leaving. We were chatting bikes (he rides also) and I mentioned the computer being out. He'd never seen a bike computer, o I was showing him how it worked. That's when I saw it.

The magnet was properly positioned, and pointed at the sensor, but too far away. It was on the outer spoke ring instead of the inner ring, relative to the sensor. The only thing I can figure is that when they worked on my bike at The Off Ramp the wheel got flipped 180°. For some reason, the worker there simply twisted the magnet around.

Whip out my Leatherman, find the Phillips screwdriver, and remount the magnet. Works fine now. So, riding stats for my ride home.

Distance: 1.44 miles
Maximum Speed: 16.0 mph
Average Speed: 10.1 mph
Time: 8 minutes, 36 seconds
Calories Burned: 42.7
Fat Burned: 3.6 grams

Doubling this for the daily total won't work. I can take a spur train coming home that cuts almost a mile off my ride that I can't take in the morning.
