1. An apparatus, comprising: a cycling computer user interface unit;a base for attaching the cycling computer user interface unit to a bicycle;a fastening structure configured to enable the base to be attached to the bicycle, the fastening structure being on a lower side of the base; anda shaft configured to attach the cycling computer user interface unit to the base, wherein the shaft penetrates at least part of a body of the base and, when attached, fastening elements of the cycling computer user interface unit, wherein the cycling computer user interface unit, when attached to the base, is configured to serve as a swing switch such that the cycling computer user interface unit has a limited rotational degree of freedom about the shaft, and when the cycling computer user interface unit is rotated about the shaft, a function of the cycling computer user interface unit is performed. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising at least one elevated counter part on an upper side of the base such that when the cycling computer user interface unit is rotated about the shaft in either direction, a switch button becomes pressed between a counter part and the cycling computer user interface unit, thereby causing a function of the cycling computer user interface unit to be performed. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the swing switch has a swing function in both rotational directions and at least one switch button for each rotational direction, wherein the swing function in either rotational direction is generated by pressing either half of the upper side of the cycling computer user interface unit, and a rotational balance of the swing switch is determined by the at least two non-pressed switch buttons located on the opposite sides of the shaft and between the cycling computer user interface unit and the base. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a switch button offers two different functions, one function when the switch button becomes pressed with a force lower than a predetermined threshold, and another function when the switch button becomes pressed with a force higher than or equal to the predetermined threshold. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the shaft further comprises a circularly widened extension at one point on the shaft, wherein the circularly widened extension is configured to prevent the shaft from sliding through the base in one direction by becoming pressed against the body of the base. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the shaft further has a longitudinal degree of freedom that is limited in one direction by the circularly widened extension and in other direction by a force of a spring, wherein the spring is further configured to restore the shaft in a position where the circularly widened extension becomes pressed against the body of the base. 7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the shaft has circularly narrowed necks on at least two points on the shaft, wherein at least one neck is inside the base when the shaft is in the position where the circularly widened extension becomes pressed against the body of the base. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, further comprising a projection member configured to move the shaft in the direction of the longitudinal degree of freedom when the projection member is pressed so as to bring out the at least one neck from the body of the base. 9. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the necks of the shaft are matched to the narrow openings at the upper part of U-shaped fastening elements of the cycling computer user interface unit and at least two parts of the shaft are matched to the wide openings at the bottom part of the U-shaped fastening elements of the cycling computer user interface unit. 10. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising at least one guidance slot introduced into the body of the base so as to guide the fastening elements of the cycling computer user interface unit around the shaft. 11. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the fastening structure at the lower side of the base comprises a cross element with an elevated part in each crossarm so as to allow a fastening strap to pass between a crossarm and the lower side of the base. 12. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a stabilizing element that is placed between at least one fastening strap and a bicycle so as to prevent vibration of the cycling computer user interface unit. 13. A method, comprising: forming a base so as to attach a cycling computer user interface unit to a bicycle via the base;providing a shaft for attaching the cycling computer user interface unit to the base such that the shaft, which penetrates at least part of a body of the base, penetrates fastening elements of the cycling computer user interface unit; andgenerating a swing switch from the cycling computer user interface unit when attached to the base, wherein the cycling computer user interface unit has a limited rotational degree of freedom about the shaft and when the cycling computer user interface unit is rotated about the shaft, a function of the cycling computer user interface unit is performed. 14. A method, comprising: mounting a base to a bicycle so as to mount a cycling computer user interface unit to the bicycle via the base;penetrating fastening elements of the cycling computer user interface unit with a shaft, wherein the shaft is attached to the base in order to attach the base and the cycling computer user interface unit to each other; androtating the cycling computer user interface unit about the shaft in order to execute a function of the cycling computer user interface unit, wherein the cycling computer user interface unit serves as a swing switch when attached to the base by having a limited rotational degree of freedom about the shaft.
