Hey that's weird, yesterday I had the pleasure of my brother dropping in from Florida, He's the cool dude in my profile picture in black. He doesn't think he has any limits (something that we both share) so we have a great time. It was 26c , which is 78.8f. My brother is a gadget freak always using the latest gadgets - a bit like all of us. Well he brought a couple of things for me to check out. One of them is an apple iwatch and the other a Jabra blue tooth wireless earphone set. The earphone set just blew me away. Who the hell needs a $700+ apple watch when there is a Jabra blue tooth earphone set?
Well we used a personal wireless hotspot on our iPhones, used viber so we could talk to each other continuously whilst having a relaxing ride. He was on a mountain bike grunting and I was just cruising on the V. Perfect. The added bonus is that the Jabra (Kidabra) earphone set has a heart rate monitor that sends heart rate data to runtastic. The earbuds have the added benefit of being yellow, the same as the V.
I really hate having anything tied around my wrist, the HRT monitor on the watch works well but if you want to see it you have to take your hand of the handlebar to look at it ... then the display comes on. The added bonus with the earbuds is they fit the ear canal really well blocking out the sound of the wind. Because the other rider is behind you, you hear all the oncoming traffic coming up behind him through his microphone. So perfect!
He also was brave enough to have a go on the V. He even got his feet to the pedals and rode for 75 yards so I think he maybe considering a V or an S next. Especially after 40 miles that we rode yesterday! He enjoyed it so much he said you ought to have some sort of riding school and go for tours.
