I unfortunately have not gotten out on our tandem bicycle in a while.
It is a beautiful sunny crisp day here in Davis so we went for a
several hour ride. I would normally take my PK but thought to take
the phone with Mobile Geo this time. On a long ride, the less weight
the better.
I stuck the phone in a jacket pocket, fired up my Oakley Bluetooth
sunglasses and off we went. It was a blast having all the lookaround
information announced. It is nice to keep your mind off your legs and
having all the location information really helped.
My wife liked it too because I wasn't moving around trying to read
the Braille display. I just left the phone in my pocket and listened
through the glasses. With the wind and traffic, it was great having
the two Bluetooth ear pieces. I enjoyed being able to comment on
points of interest we were passing and to help in deciding our route
which we figured out on the fly. I highly recommend Mobile Geo for
blind cyclists.
