This reads like paid advertisement… I guess it’d be useful for people with hearing issues, but for the rest of us we can hear cars coming. Also a mirror can help if you want extra insurance, and it costs 20 euros rather than 400 with extra hassle
Hear me out! I got an optical radar device. It works by reflecting ambient light from the approaching vehicles, reflecting it again on an optical surface to then hit my eyes. I can not only judge speed and distance of the vehicle approaching but also size, make, whether the driver already signals they’ll pass me etc. And the best? It needs no recharging.
Its a brand new invention and makes radars look like technology from the 90s. I call it a mirror.
Where I ride it’s just a given that there are always cars. Radar would be pointless.
I should too? Incase a moose wants to overtake me on the trails I guess.
A møøse once bit my sister…
No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: “The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist”, “Fillings of Passion”, “The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink”.
As we pick up speed, the wind noise quickly becomes very loud,
For those of you who bothered by wind noise, check out Cat Ears (https://www.cat-ears.com/). They break up laminar airflow over the ears. For me, long rides are way less mentally fatiguing, and I get to hear more of everything. Also, as @hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com suggested, a mirror of some kind gives you that rearview awareness. There are tons of designs to choose; it’s just a matter of finding what works for you.
Huh, that’s interesting… It reminds me of bowstring dampeners used in archery.
