Hi
I had to reply. I've always loved cycling. Almost two years ago I
adopted a dog and I was looking for a safe way to take her out but she
was strong AND liked to chase cats. The USX was the perfect answer
for us and Roux loves "her" bike ;).
I found a small light and use Velcro to attach it to the bike. I use
it to be seen more then to see so it's okay for that.
For my speed and distance I ended up buying a small GPS that is made
for runners/cyclists I fasten the wristsrtap onto the frame. I can't
remember what I paid but I don't think it was a ton and I don't have
to deal with wires or magnets or anything like on normal bike
"computers" eBay might be a good place to look.

Enjoy the ride :)
