Cycling in cities has boomed in popularity, as awareness of the environment continues to grow & cities continue to grow more crowded. As it does, cyclists are more & more aware of the difficulties that navigating busy streets can pose. But help is at hand – or rather, help is on your handlebar, thanks to the amazing Smart Halo. This device has a host of features that makes it the perfect accessory for the modern cyclist. Designed to never be removed from your bike, & connecting to your smartphone via Bluetooth with ease, the Smart Halo’s incredibly simple to understand visual interface – the halo of light on its black circular surface – works to help you navigate twists & turns with ease, the app working whilst your phone is in your pocket or bag. Different segments of the halo will light up for different directions
- the left side for a left turn, the right for a right & so on. You can even choose between compass navigation which will always point to your destination & let you figure out the exact route, or turn-by-turn which will give you sat-nav style instructions. Not only does the Smart Halo direct you in a simple, intuitive way, it also monitors your distance, speed, number of calories burned… all without needing to be prompted or set. You can also set yourself goals & targets which are then displayed on the easy to read halo, helping you to push yourself to the limit whenever you feel the need, & dial it back on your rest days. Better yet, the Smart Halo has other built-in features that work automatically, without you needing to so much as press a button. The PA feature alerts you when someone is calling you, meaning that you’ll never miss an important call. There’s an automatic night-light feature to brighten your road without you having to worry about it – in the dark the Smart Halo light magically switches on & off depending on where you are in proximity to it. The Smart Halo can even withstand the height of British summer, being fully water resistant
- though we wouldn't recommend having a bath with it, & the battery will suffer in temperatures below -10° (but then so will you). For those of you worried about the Smart Halo or your bike being pilfered, fear not! The Smart Halo cannot be removed once attached save by use of a special key that comes with the device, & if anyone tries to take your bike Smart Halo knows & proceeds to blare out a shrill burglar alarm, warning off the thief & alerting nearby individuals that something’s amiss. The alarm is turned off as soon as your phone comes within range & connects by Bluetooth, & if your phone battery is dead you can tap in a unique code to unlock it. All this technology doesn't come at the expense of battery life either; due to its simple LED display the Smart Halo will last up to three weeks of average use (but less if you're a proper mile muncher!). The Smart Halo is the perfect accessory for the modern urban cyclist, with a host of features designed to make your life that bit simpler & easier under a wide variety of circumstances.
