Had a lot of fun doing the Mid-city Scavenger Hunt with Theo. Learn a lot about the city and met a lot of really nice people. Looking forward to the next one.

This is cool to hear about! I've been seeing and hearing about virtual rides since COVID hit and hadn't heard any follow ups on how they actually go. This sounds like a fun way to do it if you can't in person. Do you ride on a trainer indoor and interact with a screen or go out and pedal, upload a ride, and then see where you "went"?

Hi Mark, Thanks for your story. I have already pointed these TriEye glasses out to my sister, who wanted to have a mirror for her cycle commuting... but was dreading the aesthetic look of adding a mirror to her road bike (or getting a couple of mirrors for both her road bikes, in fact) or those antennae-looking mirrors on her helmet. This seems to fit the bill exactly. I'll pass on your glowing testimonial!! Thanks, David

Mark Hayes I'm glad the info's been useful David. You'll want a pair for yourself once you try them. Cheers, Mark
