It'll sell well with the di2 crowd.


I think it is a cool application of technology. I'm not sure if I'll buy it... but it sure would be a fun toy some days.

You must teach marketing.

If you think about it seriously for a second, it would do away with computers/power meter heads on the bars as well as race radios in jerseys, so I'm guessing it will show up in the pro peloton before too long, especially if they can partner up with someone like Oakley

It would take that kind of partnership to make it available in multiple styles and with prescriptions

Don't need these for that. You wouldn't believe how many commuters I pass on the MUP weaving left and right while they fiddle with their phones.

You can get HUD ski goggles, too. Personally, while I'm skiing, I could give a rat's @ss how fast I'm going, my GPS coordinates, my rate of descent, etc. Just something for Joe Jersey to show his friends on his bus trip to VT.

I ski to ski, I bike to bike. I'm just thinking of the irony of riding D2R2, enjoying every minute of the dirt roads and scenery, and wearing a set of these glasses. Sorry, I just don't see it.

Enjoy your ride,

Can they make the HD camera rear facing so you can see traffic behind you? I can replace the little mirror I use in on my sunglasses for like 10x the cost. If they're made from carbon, I'm in.

Forgot to add the :p . I don't need any more gadgets right now. My Garmin gives me more then I currently need for anything. Cool technology application, i'd rather spend the money on beer now. Maybe when my Garmin dies.
