Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see that as very useful or certainly more useful than just a regular blinky and hand signals unless you do a lot of riding at night.

I still prefer my smart helmet. I hate these chest straps so much.

More importantly, how few grams does it weigh.

How much will Lumos weigh?
We are still in the process of developing Lumos and moving it to production so this is just an estimate and so is subject to change, but we estimate that Lumos will weigh about 410g (14.5oz).
For comparison, a typical run of the mill standard lifestyle helmet weighs around 315 - 340g (11.1 - 12oz) and a hardshell skater style type commuter helmet weights around 410 - 440g (14.5 - 15.5oz).


Definitely too heavy for the 41
