How Fast Are You Going Now? - JL

I'm sure you have heard that phrase before on the TV Ads from RTA.
But what happens if you are on a pedal bike?

Not to worry.

An inventor has created a cycling vest that displays its wearer's speed to other road users. The high visibility Speed Vest is aimed at increasing road safety. The battery-operated vest works through a sensor connected to the wheels which sends a microcounter to calculate the number of rotations of the wheel per second.

Bloody Genius. It is surprising to know that the avg speed on a pedal bike is actually 15-20miles/hour. Not a bad alternative if Epping and Victoria Road continues to be a pain during peak hour traffic.




btw. This post was dedicated to Dickson who recently bought a 2k pedal bike.
Yes. a 2k pedal bike. Didn't know they could be that expensive. LOL but good on ya mate.
