 SP        Shifting Pattern
 CRxFW     ChainRing x FreeWheel
 GI        Gear Inches
 GIdf      Percentage of increase between present GI value and the
           next sequential GI value.
 DI        Distance traveled in INCHES in a single pedal rotation
 diff      Difference in INCHES between the present DI value and 
           the next sequential DI value. 
 DF        Distance traveled in FEET in a single pedal rotation
           displayed as FEET' INCHES.decimal_remainder"
 PRPM      Pedal Rotations Per Mile
 RT        Gear Ratios

Notes:

Highlighted stoplight gear is the gear I start out on at a stop light (currently)
Highlighted spin-up gear is the gear I shift to riding away from the stoplight (standing)
Highlighted flats gears are (for the current setup) the gear I shift to from the stop
  light gear and the lowest gear I tend to use on the flats.
Highlighted unused gears are, well, unused ;-)
Wheel Diameter is probably not accurate - since I didn't know mine, I just used
  the default.  Gear inches are probably not accurate but can be used to compare
  different chainring/cassette combinations.
