It’s becoming somewhat of a running gag that any device or object will be made ‘smart’ these days, whether it’s a phone, TV, refrigerator, home thermostat, headphones or gla…
As a cyclist, this is a terrible sell. I already have tech which does all this, and probably does it better, for less.
Oh yeah, totally valid point you raise, I’m sure every single cyclist for all eternity going forward already owns every bit of cycling technology and no one will ever have to buy new ones.
I mean why didn’t they ask whether or not /u/orgundonor already bought a cycling computer before they developed a new one? What were they possibly thinking???
I don’t need a HUD constantly in my face obscuring the beautiful views.
Yeah, good thing it’s a small transparent display that can just pop up a small arrow when you need it. This is totally a death knell for the technology as a whole, and not a minor quibble about software design.
I have sun glasses which fit well with a helmet and wrap around my face to keep the wind out.
Yes, just like the display-free cycling smart glasses that Meta released alongside these. It’s not hard to imagine the next version of them including a display.
I have a cycling computer, which offers GPS turn by turn, and pairs to power meters, heart rate and radar light. It is mounted on the handlebars in an easy to view place.
You know where’s easier to view? You know what you can view even if you’re running, skate/snow boarding, etc?
I have bone conducting headphones for music.
Hey, everyone, check out this guy’s bone conduction headphones!
I also don’t have to wear ridiculous looking sunglasses to listen to my bone conducting headphones.
LMFAO you bought cycling specific sunglasses. Yes, you already do look ridiculous. Everyone is already making Tour de France wannabe jokes, but you don’t care because they’re practical. The same will be the case here.
Literally everything you said is just dumb hater bullshit. If I want to see someone be as pessimistic as possible to the point of being blindly inaccurate, I would just go rewatch black mirror.

Literally everything you said is just dumb hater bullshit. You added nothing to the discussion.
