cyclometers

Bicycle distance trackers

Cyclometers are devices that measure distance traveled, typically attached to a bicycle wheel.

The mechanism counts wheel rotations and converts them to miles or kilometers: The cyclometer showed we'd ridden forty miles.

Modern cyclometers often include additional functions like speed, time, and cadence.

The term also applies to instruments measuring circular arcs or cryptographic devices used in codebreaking.
