I've got an old Cat Eye computer which has a little arrow which points up if your average speed for the trip is rising or down if it is falling.
Maybe it is that.

Re: Aldi wired bike computer -
All three current bikes have ALDI wired computers on them. They have proved accurate and reliable in the three to four years they have been on the bikes. Far more reliable than the more expensive ones I had before.
Re: Aldi wired bike computer -
I have had one for a couple of years, great piece of kit, I must smear a bit of dielectric grease on the contacts, rain can upset it and the screen can mist up, I bought another.

That's basically it. If you're current speed is greater than your average (since last reset), it points up, and vice versa. Amounts to the same thing.
I've had several of these and they're great. Eventually they break, but it's often my fault, or get nicked (why? why do you want a bike computer sans mount and sensor?). Every time Aldi have them, I buy one or two so I always have a spare.
More functionality than branded models several times the price. I don't use the CO2 equivalent or calories, etc. but temperature is nice, as is a clock, which I'm not sure all the cheaper ones have.

does it tell u the decrease in world temperature due to your exertion though? that I would regard as a necessity. Would also like a cost saving in petrol and running costs.
It isnt a new idea, Asus the pc componet maker used to include a utility with its mother boards that allowed u to tune the motherboard and save power - did the same trick, told u how much grms of CO2 you had saved

Re: Aldi wired bike computer -
Anyone got the ALDI wireless computer? Any good?
Re: Aldi wired bike computer -
Yes, I have two Aldi wireless bike computers they came with heart monitors too. Had them about 4 years and still going strong. I think I paid £12.99

Re: Aldi wired bike computer -
Yes, I bought a wireless model after they were mentioned on this forum a couple of weeks back. Looks to be similar to the non-wireless in functionality but it does overread speed from time to time, perhaps adding an inaccurate few % to the distance. A little annoying!

Just check your wheel circumference by the rolling test with chalk marks. If its still wrong just input a slightly different circumference to correct it.

Re: Aldi wired bike computer -
I could never find any chalk but used to use a blob of Tipex on the tyre and pedal away. Left nice white blobs, easy to measure, on the Tarmac
In my Aldi yesterday the computers are reduced and GT85 is back in @£1:99. I'm stocked up for another year.

I wish it was consistent then I would do that. Unfortunately it seems like one of those which is somewhat prone to interference. I certainly haven't exceeded 70MPH for a while, or ever! I will attempt to not switch it on for a while to correct what I know is an exaggerated distance. Can check it on the Feeder in Bristol where I know it's a mile from Avon Road to Netham Bridge, flat and fairly straight.
Re: Aldi wired bike computer -
At my local Aldi the wireless jobs were down to £6, the big clunky steel lock was £ 6 too.
I picked up another cable lock and was promptly ejected from the store for trying on the lycra shorts
