I'm a Garmin user as I find the hardware to be very reliable but the market is in deep need of an Open Source alternative.

Let's not forget Garmin was victim of a ransomware attack in 2020 and they finally paid $10 million after days of blackout and they never really addressed the issue.

An open source bike computer that isn't the price of a 2025 flagahip smartphone and the specs of a 2010 midrange smartphone! Please please!

I found this Raspberry Pi Zero based bike computer project: https://github.com/hishizuka/pizero_bikecomputer

This seems pretty nice in terms of features, but would probably need a bit of polish.

We looked at this years ago and came to the (sad) conclusion that in this space there is no money to be made in hardware, the UX, while uniformly bad, can't make you profitable, so it's down to selling the user as a product once again.
