Handlebar gimmick
« on: 15 May, 2017, 04:43:24 pm »
Just seen this on Bike Biz - http://www.bikebiz.com/news/read/velco-releases-new-wink-bar-smart-handlebar/021268  - my immediate thought was that there was a typo in the name . . .

It's a crowdfund idea (zip raised as I type) that's worthy of 1 April

the handlebars connect to an app and once you’ve set a destination – two separate lights that navigate the user providing left, right, forward and backward signals
backward only for fixers, surely?

. . . but interesting that Bike Biz (the cycle shop trade mag) saw fit to publish it . . .  I can imagine the feedback from some of the cycle trade wags that'll vent their humour on the Bike Biz comments.
