oakley radar pace le tour.jpgOakley release limited edition Tour de France Radar Pace
If you want to own some of the most hi-tech shades on the market and pay homeage to Le Tour (and happen to have £400 burning a hole in your pocket) then the limited edition Tour de France Radar Pace from Oakley could be for you.
Oakley partner with Intel to develop Radar Pace smart eyewear
Released to "celebrate the history and legacy of the iconic competition", they have the voice-activated coaching system and app connectivity of the standard Radar Pace, but with bespoke Tour-themed features including an iridium lens designed to look like a map, a Tour logo etched on the side and a yellow Tour de France carry pouch/cleaning cloth.
Promotional video for the original Radar Pace, that were unveiled last year
The spec list on the Radar Pace is impressive, using Intel technology to connect plenty of real-time data including power output, HR, cadence and speed. You can also use the touch pad on the temples to control functions such as volume, music and calls from a paired phone. They're water resistant up to IPX5 (totally shower-proof) and lenses are interchangeable, plus you also get spares and accessories included for your 400 notes such as a hard case, 2 ear booms, a clear lens for low light and a micro USB cable for charging.
Do you need them... does anyone need them? Most likely not, but for the cyclist and Tour fanatic/lottery winner who has everything they're a pretty mean pair of shades...
Arriving at road.cc in 2017 via 220 Triathlon Magazine, Jack dipped his toe in most jobs on the site and over at eBikeTips before being named the new editor of road.cc in 2020, much to his surprise. His cycling life began during his students days, when he cobbled together a few hundred quid off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story) and bought his first road bike - a Trek 1.1 that was quickly relegated to winter steed, before it was sadly pinched a few years later. Creatively replacing it with a Trek 1.2, Jack mostly rides this bike around local cycle paths nowadays, but when he wants to get the racer out and be competitive his preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking - the latter being another long story.
In many ways this incident is the perfect example of what is wrong with the roads. While almost everyone is sympathetic to the cause and patient...
Back in the '80's when I took my driving test, you had to be in top gear by the time you got to 30mph....
Does your wife have a similar terms and conditions for when you are staying in the flat she owns?
Yes, street parking is the only bit of voluntary self-regulation drivers do for themselves at scale. Bad call, Cllr Nunn.
Read as: profitable and delayed....
The madness that seems to surround the idea of being able to walk to get to most of what you need...
I bought this light after reading this review and it worked well for 2 or 3 months. I started to experience problems with the light running low...
It says she took up the sport aged 40 - six years ago - but I haven't been able to google how long ago she transitioned.
As a Marxist/Leninist/Fascist/Neo-contrapuntalist, I wish to complain at your cancel culture.
But it rather depends on identifiying the suspect, and how would they do that?
