"Cyclist shouldn't be on the road"? Did I hear that correctly? In cycle countries like the Netherlands and Denmark you get fined for cycling on the pavement. It's more dangerous and obstructive to pedestrians than cars.
Seems very uncomfortable your ride, going on the pavement all the time. I can't see the joy of cycling that way. And I'm not a racer, just going from A to B.
Its directing you fine. Why you are cycling down a pavement i have no idea. You should be on the road. Which you have every right to be on. And now actually have more rights than cars thanks to the latest highway code updates. 🤷🤦
@@doublewhopper67 I would agree the rules that are in place now purely make what was common sense now a law. Still can't understand the riding on pavements though. Personally I've found commuting by bicycle really enjoyable. Despite busy traffic generally riding defensively and ensuring positioning prevents drivers overtaking on blind bends / summits I've had very few issues. Junctions etc I treat like I'm a car and had zero issues too. I basically ride my bicycle how I ride my motorcycle. And in that sense it's understanding risk, good positioning and never riding into ever closing gaps.
@@doublewhopper67I'm a 54 year old cyclist and totally disagree with your premise that every long-term cyclist agrees with you because you don't speak for me. What is wrong with a 1.5-metre gap between you and a lorry ? Rules on junctions at junctions have not changed. Traffic going straight ahead at a junction has always had right of way over traffic turning right at said junction.
Thanks for the video. The huge arrow on the roadline in the center of this unit is blocking the view. Because of this huge arrow its difficult to see when there is a point you have to go left and right and left again for example in a small area. That big arrow is blocking that view.
The main thing I want to do is NOT look down at my handlebar unless I miss an audio instruction... Detailed: I want this to import (etc) my Google Map route with one click, to send audio instructions like Google Maps to my hearing aids through Bluetooth, to have the option to vibrate my handlebar grips for right, left, U-turn etc, to not send me onto pavements (sidewalks)...
No expecting answers here but things as would like to know are 1. Effect on phone battery while running the app, 2. Is there any form of audio cues either direct from the device or via the phone, 3. How many hours of navigation will a full charge give. Part of me is thinking if you’ve got to have your phone with you and the app open you may as well just stick the phone on the handlebars and use an app on the phone screen, width of course the option of audio if required. It seems the only benefit is it’s a smaller device to put on the handlebars than a phone.

Cyclists shouldn't be on the footpath in the UK either, I'm pretty sure it's illegal to. They should be on the road.

Is it possible to import route to this device?
So once the route is set, and record presses do you need to have the mobile with you?

Using hearing aids and not being able to fully hear traffic is worse than a few seconds of looking at the handlebar
Can I send it a Komoot route ?
Yes
is there a free ride mode where i can use it without setting a route? e.g to get info only about speed and time
Yes

Does it support audio cues? I'd like to connect my phone or the Velo to my earbuds with Bluetooth.
Hello fellow plymouthian!
Hi, nice to meet a local viewer at last. Thanks for watching
