Hindsight Cyclist Glasses make riding safer – also look cool

The Nike Hindsight cyclist’s glasses from designer Billy May are made to stop bikers from getting hurt on the road. This is good news as I am a clutz and get in more biking pratfalls than a drunken clown.
How they work: At the extended side of each lens is a carefully arranged high-powered Fresnel lens. This lens captures the view to the sides of the biker’s head. The view is then sent to the peripheral vision. Only a sense of movement is noted by the wearer so the extra imaging won’t distract against the front and center vision. This will, hopefully, prevent against side-swiping, being attacked by errant bears etc.
Below is another photo of the unit "in action." Enjoy.
