We recently had a client stop by the shop mid-ride for a little chat. By the time he had a coffee in his hand, his bike and wrist had started chirping like the dawn chorus. I’m sure we’ve all experienced the little bleep of head units at the coffee shop, but this was something else.
On closer inspection his bike looked like it had been dipped in glue and thrown through a branch of Maplin Electronics (RIP, the bricks and mortar stores). It had a solar-powered head unit, front and rear radar cameras, dual-sided power cranks, tyre pressure monitors, electronic gearing - and the rider was wearing a smart watch, a Whoop band and a chest heart rate monitor, all paired to his new smart helmet. There were so many waves being broadcast from the bike and rider unit we could have turned the heating down.
