Lamps

- Reducing the amount of visible ride data during ultracycling reduces pressure, as distance and elevation gain are not constantly on display.  
- Numbers can be motivating, but they can also spontaneously become targets and increase mental pressure during challenging phases.  
- ‘No data, no pressure’ means: record data, but do not display it constantly, so as to compare less.

Opinion: Cycle computers – no data, no pressure
