pizero_bikecomputer
An open source bike computer based on Raspberry Pi Zero (W, WH, 2W) with GPS and ANT+ support, as well as offline maps and navigation functions.
I found this Raspberry Pi Zero based bike computer project: https://github.com/hishizuka/pizero_bikecomputer
This seems pretty nice in terms of features, but would probably need a bit of polish.
