Some of you might remember in late 2007 when I first posted about the Cerevellum concept. A few months later I had a chance to ride with Evan and try out his rough prototype. As you can [...]

Thanks for showing it to me!

I wrote a post about it on my blog at ecogadget, hope you like it!

Gizmodo also picked it up from the Wired post, but no link back here unfortunately.

Where is the software running on my treo/iphone, or windows phone to integrate:

GPS
Heart Rate Monitor
Phone
MP3 Player / Streaming Internet Radio?

…so w/ apologies to evan solida & what looks to be an very interesting product, i wanna run w/ the idea a bit…
…first off, i’m not going to take the time to immerse myself in unfamiliar technical terms, so please bear w/ my ignorance…

…i could imagine w/ high-end digital optical quality & the right computer capacity combined w/ several tiny sensors, a simple calculated grid system could be portrayed onscreen…
…as a vehicle approaches from behind (you’ve already seen it on the screen) & moves up beside you, a preset distance sensor informs you onscreen, perhaps by way of a green line on it’s left that would change to red, if the vehicle is sensed to be infringing on that preset lateral distance…
…as a rider in the present moment, available info would be simplified but everything else concerning measurement would be recorded…
…in the first case, you’re given an immediate heads up, but also…
…all information, both digital video & distance calculations could be down loaded in the event of a traffic “situation” thus offering some substance for “official” use…
…(yes your honor, as you can see, my client who was riding well within a safe cycling area, was forced into the guardrail & the driver was obviously on his/her cell phone, looking away, whatever, whatever)…
…road & ambient light conditions, vehicle front plate, color, anomalous markings, all the info that would offer police/judicial agencies irrefutable proof of the situation…

…anyway, far fetched ?…perhaps for the moment but ultimately, not at all…as the technology becomes simplified/ common place/ cheaper, i’m willing to bet it would be simple for the right engineer …
…too high tech for bicycle folks?…only if you wish to remain retro…

The people I know who use mirrors swear by them and wouldn’t ride without them. I know that helmet or eyeglass mounted mirrors work well, but many cyclists (myself included) just don’t like to use them. I have tried mirrors but I find having something in my immediate field of vision to be distracting. I do, however, use a cyclo-computer and since I already I look down at it from time to time, I think the camera view would be a nice feature for me. I guess I’ll see when I try the prototype.

Of course, safety would be the primary reason for the hindsight, but it would also be fun to see who is drafting behind you in a group ride without looking back. In a race, you could monitor the wheelsucker’s face to see when the time is right to drop the hammer.

The webcam is mounted on the rear rack and the PDA on the handlebar for a live rear-view video feed.

I prefer my eyeglass mirror — it’s in my field of view almost constantly. There’s no need to glance at my handlebars for the rear view.
