I've bike-commuted in LA and London, various Chinese cities, and Sydney and cycle toured in many more countries. I would say skip the bike computer - it just adds theft interest and provides little info a cellphone can't give you ahead of time or after, which is safer than reducing focus on the road. Also I would say figure out what you enjoy and get it in to your routine, for me it is uphill. Right now I don't have to commute because I put my family home and our new office in the same development, but I cycle up the nearby mountain most mornings anyway! This feeds in to the major selling point not mentioned: if you exercise, your brain is super awake and you are more effective at work! Another point I would make is that cycling is very time efficient and does not require synchronization with others, two very strong points for busy entrepreneurs. Finally, be the envy of your buddies and stay late at the bar to get all the girls: just chuck your bike in the back of a cab and you are suddenly not only the healthy work-hard-party-hard but also the sensitive responsible new age guy. Note: does not work for people who are worried about paint chips and scratches. Worked for me, YMMV :)
