<p>Both my wife's and my bikes (at least the one's with wireless computers mounted) are steel bikes. Hers Reynolds 853, mine Bianchi steel.</p>

<p>For those of you having odd problems with your wireless computers, I would be interested in knowing what material your bikes are made of. I'm wondering if they are acting as antennas, picking up the many strong electronic signals in the Loop and causing problems with the computers through a non-contact induction effect. This would not occur with a carbon fiber bike, and wouldn't occur much with a steel bike. However, aluminum is a good antenna material, and could conceivably cause such a…</p>

<p>You're not alone David. Both my wife's and my Cateye wireless computers will jump like that at some stoplights, under power lines, or other unknown places during a ride. But it is a fairly rare occurrence. We have different models. Her's has hit maximum speeds in the 90's, and mine has hit as high as 110 mph. Before that happened, I did not realize that the Cateye was even capable of displaying a three digit speed.</p>

<p>I noticed a similar problem with my Strava app in the loop. I assumed it was some kind of GPS problem caused by high-rise buildings?</p>

<p>Interesting. I am not riding tomorrow but will carry the computer off of my wife's bike and see if standing in the same area makes it start to move. Mine only does this at this one location. Yes I am in the church. I had not before noticed the computer running while in the building, only on the sidewalk in front of it. yesterday after zeroing out I saw it had 3.3 miles when I was putting the computer back on it's mount to ride home.</p>
