GREAT IDEA!!

Love to see the actual finished product pics! I did the "cat-eye" on my bike some years ago and it's been great (magnet on my rear tyre). Found the same limitations as you (display annoyances, lighting, time lapse in measurement, etc.)

The two magnets? Do you then have to ...

the bike sales have gone through the roof of late.... "i know how to beat the petrol rises"
more and more people (i know a few of them) are getting back on to bikes for the first time in decades (if not, longer) and they opt for a 1000cc (if not, larger) cuz they can afford it ...
