Cervellum Hindsight 35 – first impressions
About a week before I left for China, Evan Solida, the designer and founder of Cerevellum, dropped off one of the first production Hindsight 35 units for me to try out. Some of you may remember the test ride I did with one of his early Gameboy based prototypes back in 2008…and I think you…

Laser spoke power meter
If you regularly visit cycling sites on the web, it is hard to miss articles about the benefits of training with a power meter. When the first SRM power meter was developed in the late 80s, it was definitely a training tool strictly for the pros. These days though, there are many more options available…

Is the Sportiiiis heads-up display the future of cycling electronics?
I can’t find the exact post, but Byron from BikeHugger has mentioned a few times that he believes Smartphones will almost completely replace cyclo-computers in the near future. I think that is probably a pretty safe bet, and there is no doubt that iPhone and Android compatible add-ons to track power, cadence, and other cycling…

Another concept design fresh from Trek World 2012 is this Bontrager stem concept by Ryan Hahn, an industrial designer in Trek’s road group. The concept, which has a removable computer integrated into the magnesium stem, has been dubbed “Computermatron Stemigration” by Ryan. Let’s just hope that name sticks if this stem moves forward into production.…

Cerevellum
I first mentioned Evan Solida’s Cerevellum concept at the end of 2007 and I had a chance to ride with a rough prototype a few months later. At that time, Evan’s cylco-computer with an integrated digital rearview camera was just a concept design, but now the product is starting production and is available for pre-order…

Cerevellum- coming soon
In keeping with the theme from my last post, I want to point out an article by Evan Solida at Product Design Hub. The article features tips for designers who want to develop their ideas into real products. Evan is doing just that with his Cerevellum expandable cyclo-computer design. Some of you might remember in…

My ride with Hindsight
I posted about Evan Solida’s Cerevellum concept in December of last year. If you didn’t see that post, check it out before you read on and take a look at the Cerevellum website to familiarize yourself with the concept. One of the distinctive components of the modular Cerevellum system is the Hindsight feature, which allows…

Cerevellum
Cerevellum is an interesting cyclo-computer concept, but it is really much more than that. The system is expandable by way of 4 USB connections on the underside of the head unit so the user can choose the extra features that he or she wants; GPS mapping, power meter, heart rate monitor, etc. Sounds good so…
