You want me to ride around in a $10 speedo?! That doesn't sound very safe, and I'll probably scare a lot of people. |

I get Schwinn wallyworld ones for around $10. I doubt they are perfectly accurate but close enough. One bad thing about having a speedo (not the banana-hammock kind) is you get really worried when one day your MB will only do "X" for speed and really excited when it will go "Y"
Here is a link but does not show the 10 dollar ones. dunno why. They do have them. Walmart.com: Platinum 15 Function Wireless Speedometer: Bikes, Scooters & Skates
