Kind of surprising this stuff still is little more than a concept. 12 years after google launched and scrapped it's glasses there are still no well established alternatives for cycling, which is such an obvious market. Everyone is wearing glasses, everyone has a computer mounted to their handlebar, let's integrate them together already.
- freejazz 4mo agoThat's a solution in search of a problem that does not exist. This would, at best, be useful for someone doing a time trial. I don't see road racers using it in any other context.
- loeg 4mo agoIt might make more sense to put this in the glasses than attached to the helmet, which is ultimately a consumable. But I basically agree with sibling comment that no one really wants this. (I race bikes and know a lot of other racers.)
- Scoundreller 4mo agoI’ve the same opinion between heated gloves and pogies. Pogies are great but don’t do you any good off of your bike.
- KeplerBoy 4mo agoWell the helmet is also a consumable (you should swap them every few years and of course after every crash). But having the visor integrated in the visor is awkward.
- tokai 4mo agoWith UCI ruling on bike computer sizes in the name of reducing rider distractions, I bet that HUD glasses would be outlawed with post hast if they became a thing in the pro peloton.
- this_user 4mo agoAnd everyone will bully you on the group ride if you show up with this.
- jeffbee 4mo agoThere are HUD glasses for triathletes, and have been for years. That's why the ANT+ "extended display" profile exists. These HUD glasses have been on the market for at least 15 years. UCI rules prohibit them, which is why they are marketed to triathletes.
