Have you been following the concept devices we feature here every now and then? If so you already know how we like to criticize them. Take this Velocity for example. It is supposed to be a GPS navigation system for bicycles.

The idea is that you download your routes from the internet, fit the device on your handlebar, and then get visual and audio route guidance. Here is our take on it: It looks like it is ready to snap in half, the translucent display is probably very fragile and almost impossible to read under direct sunlight, and how is this supposed to fit anywhere when you’re done with it? We do like the single hand operation though.

It’s a really nice design, but the display would be unreadable. In daylight, the plastic would just reflect sunlight into your eyes and, even if it’s matt the sun would wash out the display.
In the darkness it would be ok but quite probably lethally distracting.
