iPhone bicycle apps

This is cool: WIRED lists five iPhone apps that replace bike hardware. I think the most clever is a Cyclocomputer that measures your bike's speed by counting the sound of a plastic tab on the spokes. Another clever app is a brake light that uses the built in accelerometer.

Darcy Darlin' asked what kind of helmet is on Heinrich Haussler's head. That would be a Catlike helmet, which is not legally available for sale in the USA (it's not CPSC approved) although I know people who import it anyway.

    Good question from Darcy, Cervelo is rocking some of the coolest-looking helmets I've ever seen.

    And by the way... this company is a total loss in translation.

    First of all.. do cats wear helmets? Or is a cat on your head supposed to be the height of comfort and invisibility?

    Secondly.. the slogan is "for a protected life!?" I hardly imagine that most aspire to live a "protected life!"
