    Last season I used MPH on my computer and this season I've switched over to kilometers, which do you think is a better form of measurement?

    I like Kilometers more because they are more precise and linear (i.e: 1 Kilometer=1,000 Meters vs. 1 Mile=5,280 ft.)

    KPH : mph is just too humiliating

    My old computer used to reset itself periodically, and would come up on metric. Sure made me feel good, until I figured out what happened... wow, I've been holding 30 for the past 20 minutes...

    On the other hand, a 'metric century' just doesn't compare to a real century, in terms of really putting the endurance to a test. 60kph on a downhill is coasting, while 60mph on a downhill is exciting.
