I use a computer every time I ride. Training rides I use it for intervals and to stay in zones. Group rides I watch speed and heart rate. I know where to keep heart rate depending on how long the ride is. When I get to do some climbing it is really helpful for watching grade, speed and heart rate. The computer lets me hold a steady speed which is important if you are riding with others in a pace line, probably the best reason to have one for a new rider.
