My bike doesn't know it, but I recently performed my own version of a brain transplant by using Velotrend's BikeBrain to connect my favorite gadget with my favorite mode of transport.

BikeBrain is a clever little contraption that takes about 15 minutes to set up. First you attach the revolution counter to the front wheel of the bike, then the other end plugs into a Palm PDA that fits nicely into the BikeBrain case mounted on the handlebars. I had to get out my toolbox from the hall closet, which always makes me feel terribly useful although only a screwdriver is needed. The directions include helpful step-by-step drawings that show the correct way to mount the Palm and attach the wheel sensor to the front tire. The directions were very easy. I recommend reading them first. I didn't and installed BikeBrain upside down.
