Australian Cycling Forums - Bicycles Network Australia

I started a similar topic on the Guzzi Forum in USA, it proved to be a very useful resource.

One item which came up was a bike clock. As well as keeping the time it may be useful for cadence counting as it has a sweep second hand.

How about a pebble watch.

Never miss another important message etc while cycling.

In 2013 and the last decade and more, we have "bike computers" that have cadence, stopwatch, speed, mileage as well as a clock built in. Oral cadence counting is decidedly old school.

Put one on the trek for something different and really like it.

Now this man has a handle on the subject. However, come on guys its about easy-to-read wrist watches...

If you can get into the city, I'd suggest visiting The Time Shop in Trinity arcade.
The proprietor is a watchmaker, not just a retailer, so if there are technical issues related to the motorcycle then he should be able to give you valid advice.
I bought a cheap and light weight watch there with a face that's similar to the stem cap items pictured above, and it has given me no trouble in 15 years of regular use, but I don't ride a motorcycle.

Time for the time:

Having the clock on the bike proved its value yesterday.
As I approached a 40kph School Zone at 60kph a quick glance at the clock showed the time of 09:20, immediately dropped the speed to sub 40, saved a rather large fine! Prior to having the clock, I would have stayed at 60kph.

Most are, this one in Nedlands/Claremont is 9:30, we have one in Bassendean which has no holidays!

So that's the bike taken care of, now a little something for me.
With Metronet in the offing, time for a little train spotting, so a Swiss Railway Watch is the go!
