It's a safety light that has radar. You can see if/how many cars are behind you, usually through an app on your phone.

What non-standard sizes do you use? in c/castiron@lemmy.world
[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 4 points 3 days ago

They're definitely more niche. If you don't have a specific use in mind, I'd stick with just 1 medium-ish skillet for starters. Cast iron isn't crazy expensive, so if you wanted to get more later, it should always be a pretty approachable option.

MapMyIndia's helmet-mounted navigation in c/micromobility@lemmy.world
[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 2 points 3 days ago

That's a cool idea, looks like it won't cost too much either (hopefully). I'd love to see a version of this that attaches to the bar ends so the rider can still see it but it also functions as automatic turn signals. There could even be a version that's also a comprehensive lighting system.

Every MIPS helmet I've tried fit just fine, but if this can actually protect from multiple hits that's pretty cool.

Flexible-fit helmet snugs up to your head, and can survive multiple impacts (newatlas.com)
 

Some folks don't like bicycle helmets because the things wobble around on top of their heads like big, loose, goofy mushroom caps. That's where the multi-impact Echo Pro comes in, as its sides can be squeezed in and locked in place for a firm, sleek fit every time.
