This Tiny Device Will Ensure You'll Never Get Lost While Biking

Navigating using a smartphone is nothing new, but it's just not conducive when it comes to operating a bike safely. And that's where the new CycleNav from Schwinn comes in.
Just enter a destination into the app-operated handle mount and pedal away. Users will be given three routes to pick or edit from. The device will then help you to navigate by actually yelling out the turn-by-turn directions. It also provides visual cues in the form of a light arrow showing you where to ride.
Since it connects via Bluetooth, it'll reroute you once you miss a turn. You can also press the circle button in the center of the mount to get it to repeat the direction. Other handy features include the ability to track your stats (distance, calories burned, elevation) plus a headlight on the front to enable other vehicles to spot you.
