Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

actually the 90's version worked well. they were pretty ugly, and as far as i am concerned these Nike glasses are even worse looking. i feel this is more of a case of a conglomerate finding something old they that thought was dead and pacing it off as their own. sure i bet they reverse engineered them and made them better, it's been well over 10 years and technology is far superior now then in the 90's. maybe i just hate Nike and will never wear/use one of their products. either way, they are ugly, will most likely cost around $500 and not work nearly as well as their concept ad states. to quote Dennis Miller "That's just my opinion, i could be wrong."

Nice way to move the goalpoasts there champ

Also, 'that's just my opinion' is for wussies who don't have enough conviction to stand by their word

PS Dennis Miller is always wrong :-)

I really don't know about this. I think we are already suited well with our senses.

Are you kidding me? For every sense we've got there are at least a dozen animals out there who have a more highly developed equivalent. And even if that weren't the case, what's wrong with using technology to improve one sense or another?
