What’s better, and something for those
really into safety which should be
everyone, is that the RIDE-1 will allow
you to create all sorts of alert areas (areas
where bike accidents frequently happen,
common areas with terrain issues, areas
normally slippery) by using data from
other people’s sensor logs. This isn’t
something most will use, but if you ride
with a group, and do so over the same area
for practice or fun, this data can make the
experience a better and safer one.
At the end of the day all this technology
comes at a cost. At $299 the RIDE-1 is
priced for the serious rider only, but if you
really are looking to take your ride to the
next level the RIDE-1 should be a smart
device you take a serious look at. Likewise,
if you are a data hound or love creating
unique riding videos, it also might be for
you. If you are interested in snagging a

All that I talked about above would be
enough for most devices and make the
Ride-1 a solid enough device for
competitive folks. But Cerevo is a
company that likes to go above and
beyond and we can see this with the
ability of being able to use the RIDE-1
when riding in a group (no doubt training
for the Tour de France). What cool is that
If someone in the group gets into some sort
of trouble during their ride, like a crash,
the RIDE-1 will capture the event and
alert the other riders thanks to the built-in
sensors. I can really see a team outfitting
their riders with the Ride-1 to have better
control over everything that’s going on.
