Are these things housing GPS modules, cameras, and microphones too? Every manufacturer of common goods wants to get on the surveillance game these days.

That’s actually one benefit to many bike computers: they can be used offline and/or have no data connection or app.

You could connect it to a manufacturer’s services, and lock down what data is shared.

If I had to pick between a phone and a bike computer for privacy, it would be a bike computer.

It’s a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don’t be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
