    I better start saving. Doesn't say wether it records or just diplays the images.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Don't be fooled by the clarity of images on the website. You'll probably run into the back of a bus while squinting at the screen in broad daylight.

    Says it'll record "30-second videos and workout data".

    Might be a bit tricky if one also regularly drives a car and uses its rear-view mirror. You might have to adjust your instinctive moves with each bike/car switch. . In the cycle screen a car coming up on the `left' side of the screen is in fact coming up on the right. In a rear view mirror its opposite but `correct'. Unless the digital screen processes it into a mirror image? Webcams can usually do this. So I will assume when they say `mirror' they mean it.

    I used to think about this sort of thing as a kid watching Gerry Anderson's Captain Scarlett. In their SPV vehicle, the drivers faced the rear and drove while looking at a TV screen of the forward view. Used to bother me(!) that their bodies would be telling them they were going right while the screen said left etc.

    Cool, and totally pointless!

    Get a bike-eye mirror, does the same job at a fraction of the cost, and the bike-eye is also cool.

    needs a helmet mounded HUD with teh only bit attached to the bike that cute little camera, then I may be unable to resist. In the meantime, a LCD TV screen on my handlebars? talk about invite to theft / vandalism and +1 for those who piont out that just about all current screen technology is pants in broad daylight, no reason to think this will be better.

    Plus it needs wifi/EDGE so I can browse Pr0n during the quieter parts of the commute (or whore the BR forum). Then you could get google maps and it would double as a GPS.

    Now yer talkin'!

    God I must be a complete and utter luddite but that is one of the least cool things I've ever seen. How utterly utterly pointless. How many of us ride around with mirrors on our bikes? Almost none because a shoulder check is far more effective for a whole host of reasons.

    Pointless techie nonsense. Bah!

    depends on it's angle of view, in a car you can watch behind you far easier than on a bike, a shoulder check how ever quick isn't as easy as simply looking at a mirror. so i can see it's uses though how well it would cope with weather and would it stay put on the bike....
