A system and method are disclosed for utilizing a bicycle computer to monitor athletic performance. A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a housing component at least partially defining an enclosure. A local area wireless transceiver capable of receiving a signal from a sensor coupled to a bicycle may be located within the enclosure. A performance engine may also be located within the enclosure and may be communicatively coupled to the local area wireless transceiver. In operation, the performance engine may utilize the signal from the sensor to generate a performance metric like current speed, distance traveled, or cadence. The system may also include an output mechanism such as a display device associated with the housing component. The output mechanism or display device may be capable of presenting the performance metric to a user. In preferred embodiments, the system may also include a wide area wireless transceiver located within the enclosure. This wide area wireless transceiver may allow the user to send and receive information across a geographically disperse network such as a cellular telephone network.
