Probably depends on your area, but when I was bike commuting, I refused to give in to the temptation to wear even one headphone. Staying completely focused and aware of traffic saved me quite a few times. You won't be surprised to know what I think about cycling with AR.
- crazygringo 2y agoWhile cycling somewhere new I have to look upwards and to the side to search for small street name signs and try to read them, to know when to turn. Rather than looking at traffic and the road ahead of me. A big glowing arrow is going to distract me far less than tiny street name signs. AR is a big win here. In fact there are all sorts of safety improvements you can imagine for cycling specifically, including making you more aware of vehicles she other cyclists behind you to the side.
- stevage 2y agoInteresting point. the one serious accident I have had while cycling occurred while I was looking for a street sign. Well designed AR apps would definitely be an improvement over looking down at a mounted phone, too.
- sethammons 2y agoI could never ride with earbuds. AR? Totally different. It gives me more info while allowing me to keep my head up. Maps, way points, journey stats. Now, if they are watching movies, then that is simply insane.
