Hammerhead System Offers a Better Way To Navigate While Cycling

Mark Gibbs writes "If you've ever tried to navigate using a smartphone while cycling you'll know full well that you took your life in your hands. By the time you've focused on the map and your brain has decoded what you're looking at you've traveled far enough to be sliding on gravel or go careening into the side of a car. What's needed is a way that you can get directions from your smartphone without having to lose your focus and possibly your life and Hammerhead Navigation have one of the most interesting answers I've seen."

Hammerhead?

BS. I've been over 50mph several times. But I don't weigh much so the last time it took a good tailwind coming off Squaw Pass into Evergreen, Colorado, and I had to spin out a 53x13.
Cyclists don't reach 80kph? Better have another Mars bar buddy.

Before smartphones, cyclist still managed to get around fine. And back then they had *gasp* paper maps. ya, I know, how did they manage?

Anyone has got to be a bit retarded to be doing 35-50mph without knowing where they are going. do they run face first into walls when it is dark too?
