Help me slide my Scirocco better...

You could use a bicycle computer.  A small magnet would need to be
attached to the spinning part of the wheel.  The "pick up"  would need
to be mounted to a bracket that will allow you to adjust it's position. 
The computer will give you the speed of the wheel, but there is probably
a way to have it light up when you the display reads "0".  The extras
are that you will then have average speed, an adjustable speedometer,
max speed, trip distance and driving time!
