EL Vest Shows Bike Rider’s Speed
August 26th, 2008 by miked
Mykle Hansen likes his unix, his Mac and riding his bike. I can’t figure out too much more from his blog. He did make a kick-ass vest that displays his current speed. He calls it Speed Vest. It uses an Arduino to sense the speed and then display it on the vest using electro-luminescent wires. To make the project just a little cooler, the EL wires are laid out in a nixie tube style. There is separate post that has a video of the Speed-Vest in action. <via OhGizmo!>

I should also mention that Brady Clark is every bit as much the inventor as I am. And, heck, that we have a new website: speedvest.com! And that people keep asking us if they can buy the things and we keep saying … hmm, not sure.
