Youse guys just like to spend money. I had a mile recording device
that recorded miles by counting wheel rotations (a known distance). So
time I got home less time I started divided into distance travelled =
average speed :-)
FWIW: John's method is what I used for about 15 years, a "tick-tick-tick" mechanical rotation counting cyclometer - with the added trick that the number of wheel rotations in five seconds is very close to the speed in miles per hour.
I think it was 1986 that I finally got an electronic cyclometer that displayed speed. It acted as a primitive performance motivator - as in "I can't believe I'm not going any faster than that!!" It caused me to push myself a bit more. Overall, I think it helped me stay in better shape over the years.
