For commuters, this could help them to evaluate alternative routes and find ones that have less traffic or stress-inducing features. At the very least, regular riders could look at their maps and know where to be prepared for the trickier parts of their route and be more focused.
The team behind MindRider is hoping that information gathered by the technology could be used by city planners to create better bike lanes and more bike-friendly routes.
The project is currently on Kickstarter with a goal of raising $200,000 in the next 25 days. A pledge of $190 gets you a MindRider when they are manufactured, likely in December of next year.
