Helios *smart* handlebars

Interesting. GPS, accelerometer, front (CREE) and read LEDs.. not the prettiest but definitely an interesting concept. I like that the color of the rear LEDs changes based on your speed. also.. no weight listed thoughts? |

Interesting. Certainly clean looking and from the pictures it looks like most parts should be individually replaceable should they break. I wouldn't put it on my race bike, but for a commuter/touring bike I think they'd look pretty awesome.
One issue is not being able to rotate the light independently from the handlebars. In most pictures it looks it doesn't point slightly downward, which is insanely annoying for other cyclists riding towards you. |

I won't pledge a cent unless that guy gets a haircut. I spent the first 10 seconds of the video thinking "Jeez, couldn't they have gotten a better looking chick as a model? She's kinda homely."
(and he's all about safety but doesn't wear a helmet)

the rest of the industry should start marketing their plain ol' aluminum or carbon fiber bars as "stupid."

you mean you don't often whip out your cell phone to read text messages, use google navigator maps, and read paceline forum threads all while riding the bike? clearly you're not an enabled "smart" rider.

Cool. Are they compatible with iOS and can I send them a text message to downshift a cog and apply a little more front brake?

No, you need to wait for the HUD helmet, based on US Air Force technology. Then you'll be able to tweet by hitting a virtual keypad with your tongue.
