A New Bike With Buzzing Handlebars That Give You Directions

[unfamiliar]

I don't see this bike solving any problems that a simple smartphone mount wouldn't. It seems short sighted to put all of the technology in something as expensive as the frame.

It's traditional "improve the bicycle" design fluff. Whenever you see integrated anything on a bike, you know the designer isn't thinking about service life or tweakability or any of the other things that makes bikes so cool.

I'd like to see haptic directions in Wear though - buzz once for left, twice for right.

The author uses "peddle" instead of "pedal" twice, and thinks bicycles have a confusing number of levers to figure out. I think it's safe to say they don't know what they're talking about.

Do people frequently ride to places they've not been before?

Sure, just like you might walk, drive, or take public transit somewhere new.
