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

This has to be the coolest vaporware ever. They're targetting $300, then add-on modules for stuff like rear view:

This would be cool if they had started with a gps instead of a rear view camera. Right now, it looks like a $300 replacement for a $25 mirror and a $100 cyclocomputer.

The gap between wasteful and useful continues to grow.

Well, it would actually be like paying $300 for a $320 cyclocomputer with power, since that's how much something like the Cervo 2.4 costs. For comparison, the SRM head unit is $850, a Garmin 705 is $500, and a Qranium will be $1000 when released. $300 doesn't sound so bad for core power functionality.

I have no interest in the rear view, but there are some cool application possibilities for a pixel display.

That's really nifty. I'd take one with just the Hindsight setup.

So other companies have to develop modules for it? Wonder how that's going.

The rear view idea is nice... a $300 mirror.

TCI probably should have gone with ANT+ Sport wireless system like the iBike and Garmin uses to communicate to a range of devices such as speed sensors, HRM chest straps, cadence sensors, power meters, etc. instead of some sort of proprietray serial bus. The base looks like a USB hub.

Whoa, yeah, I didn't read that the power wasn't included. That is pretty silly pricing then. Seems like an ANT+ Sport USB module would be easy enough. Just like one of those tiny BlueTooth USBs.
