A very handy gizmo -- saves me from the kink in the neck trying to look behind me. But jeepers, it costs around $1,300 or so -- more than what I paid for my bike.
ReplyDeleteAre there any other bike accessories that cost more than a bike? Of course, if you ducked an impending crash thanks to this computer, it would have been money well spent. I believe most bikers are hit from behind.

ReplyDeleteThanks Gordon. Maybe I'm just a nerd, but I think that website is worth visiting every couple of months as a reminder. Those seemingly minor intersection issues could be seriously important!
