Moskito watch transforms into analogue bicycle speedo

A watch that doubles up as a smart handlebar-mounted computer has been launched by a group of Swiss cycling enthusiasts.

The Moskito is an analogue tachometer that displays current speed, distance travelled and average speed. After your ride you can easily upload your data to Strava or Garmin Connect. moskitowatch.com

To those who question the union of bicycle and computer, Steve Jobs had the following to say:

“I read a study that measured the efficiency of locomotion for various species on the planet. The condor used the least energy to move a kilometre. Humans came in with a rather unimpressive showing about a third of the way down the list. That didn’t look so good, but then someone at Scientific American had the insight to test the efficiency of locomotion for a man on a bicycle and a man on a bicycle blew the condor away. That’s what a computer is to me: the computer is the most remarkable tool that we’ve ever come up with. It’s the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.”
