Motorcyclists have long enjoyed a choice of helmet-mounted radios that allow them to stay in touch with each other, but now cyclists can buy the world’s first Bluetooth Communication and Entertainment System for bicycle helmets.
The cardo BK-1 allows simultaneous intercom communication between up to 3 cyclists at distances of up to 500 m.
The voice-controlled walkie-talkie connects to any Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone, GPS and MP3 player. Users can even upgrade the software of the cardo BK-1 to stay up to date with the latest features and functions.
Encased in a rugged, waterproof, yet aerodynamic body, the cardo BK-1 fits
virtually all bicycle helmets and provides high-quality audio.
Using your bicycle helmet for communication frees up your phone for others uses. There is no external camera accessory for the iPhone that allows it to record from the safety in your pocket while a smaller and robust camera sits on your handlebars, but a new design from Optrix HD allows you to mount the phone directly to your helmet.
The Optrix HD features a rugged weather-proof case, which mounts securely to just about any surface including bicycle helmets. A silicon membrane allows full control of the phone’s screen.
