I'm not saying I'd use one, but the inventors will make millions from this:

    Personally I don't think they will.
    I can't see many people wanting to wear a thick "scarf" on a warmish day, even in the UK?
    Can you imagine many road cyclists in bib shorts and a lycra top wearing them?
    If they can get the styling right, then they might sell a few to style conscious people in London or New York etc....

    I can't see them selling many either.
    To avoid the chance of false triggering, there are going to be scenarios where it's unlikely to be any good. It's a lot to pay for a 'single use' (I see that they're hoping to do free replacements) that could end up being a bloody nuisance.


    The older I get, the better I was.

    If there is a risk of false triggering, you can bet your bike the low-lifes will have a new sport. :|
