A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Slightly tongue in cheek but it's actually fascinating.

We asked ourselves, why couldn’t handlebars function like a car’s cockpit?

Isn't this just a cycle computer? I have a cycle computer that clicks into place on my bars. It navigates and connects to sensors like pedal cadence sensors, power meters, heart rate monitors, it displays speed. All while being removable so I can easily charge it or just not bring it when I don't need those functions.

It's literally a cycle computer that also puts a finite lifespan on your fucking handlebars.

You can get the same effect cheaper by JB Welding an Elemnt Roam to your handlebars.

Honestly with the way the cycling industry has brainwashed most of the bicycle enthusiasts, they will have bought six different bicycles in the time this takes to break.

Otherwise, your point stands. I'm more of a Garmin Edge guy though, personally.

I'm running a Garmin Edge too. I just wanted to use something other than garmin in a post for once.
