I am going on a big trip today to my friend Tony’s place today. On my back from the LCBO, my cycling computer screen started to go awry.

Aghh! No speed, no odometer. All of my mileage for this season is lost (I have it written down).

My point? I think you should probably add a battery to your list of items to include in your ultimate bicycle toolkit. Everyone tends to forget that we live in a battery-operated world.

What do you think?
