I tricked out my dad bike with an arduino nano based speedometer, odometer, clock, and temperature sensor.

A DS3231 RTC keeps the time and temperature.  I implemented a attachInterrupt() function to keep track of tire rotation via a reed switch.

This way, I do not have to programmatically monitor  the reed switch;  a routine is executed (in this case that calculates the distance traveled) each time the state of the digital pin the switch is connected to changes.

 //bike speedometer
#include 
#include "RTClib.h"
RTC_DS3231 rtc;

char daysOfTheWeek[7][12] = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"};

// initialize the library by associating any needed LCD interface pin
// with the arduino pin number it is connected to
const int rs = 12, en = 11, d4 = 5, d5 = 4, d6 = 3, d7 = 10;
LiquidCrystal lcd(rs, en, d4, d5, d6, d7);

float start, finished;
float elapsed, time;
//float circMetric=2.164; // wheel circumference relative to sensor position (in meters)
float circMetric=1; // wheel circumference relative to sensor position (in meters)
float circImperial; // using 1 kilometer = 0.621371192 miles
float speedk, speedm;    // holds calculated speed vales in metric and imperial
float miles_traveled = 0;
float feet_traveled = 0;
char miles[100];

void setup () {
  attachInterrupt(0, speedCalc, CHANGE); //digital pin 2
  start=millis();
  // set up the LCD's number of columns and rows:
  lcd.begin(16, 2);
  // Print a message to the LCD.
  lcd.print("cr3d0");
  lcd.setCursor(0,1);
  lcd.print("BIKE SPEEDOMETER!");
  delay(4500); 
  lcd.clear();
  Serial.begin(9600);
  circImperial=circMetric*.62137; // convert metric to imperial for MPH calculations

  //rtc stuff
  int temp = 0;

  if (! rtc.begin()) {
    Serial.println("Couldn't find RTC");
    while (1);
  }//end if

  if (rtc.lostPower()) {
    Serial.println("RTC lost power, lets set the time!");
    // following line sets the RTC to the date & time this sketch was compiled
    rtc.adjust(DateTime(F(__DATE__), F(__TIME__)));
    // This line sets the RTC with an explicit date & time, for example to set
    // January 21, 2014 at 3am you would call:
    // rtc.adjust(DateTime(2014, 1, 21, 3, 0, 0));
  }//end if rtc lost power
  
}//end setup

void speedCalc()
{
  elapsed=millis()-start;
  start=millis();
  speedk=((3600*circMetric)/elapsed) * 0.12; // km/h
  speedm=((3600*circImperial)/elapsed) * 0.12; // Miles per hour
  feet_traveled += 1.1; 
  miles_traveled = feet_traveled / 5280; 
  //sprintf(miles, "%.2f", miles_traveled);
  
}

void loop()
{
  DateTime now = rtc.now();  
  int temp = 0;

  lcd.clear();
  lcd.setCursor(0,0);
  //lcd.print(int(speedk));
  //lcd.print(" km/h ");
  lcd.print(int(speedm));
  lcd.print(" MPH   ");
