I have a cheap cycling computer I got at Performance ("dB 4LW
Wireless"😉. Sometimes, when the bike is not moving, I see the computer
showing speeds over 70 mph. This does not happen when I am riding.
Obviosuly, this behavior causes over-estimation of my travel distance,
and it also screws up my max speed reading (I've never gone above ~55
mph, sorry). I've seen this behavior with 3 computers of this
particular type. Does anyone know why this could be?

sensors in the road will speed up you computer quite a bit! -

unit works on since it could also be the proliferation of wireless
computer hot spots that could be attempting to 'ping' it.
