Being driven mad by the number of different connectors all your cycling gadgets have? Us too, and we think we have a solution... cycling
Now, if your gadget charges with one of the standard versions of USB, you can tune out. Go back to working on the next generation gizmo that monitors blood adrenaline so our Garmin bike computers can provide evidence that we really were terrified when that cabbie almost killed us and casting profane doubt on his family relationships was perfectly reasonable, despite what the police say. Or just tell us when our ride was really gnarly and we should be properly stoked.
Look, I get it. You want to make your device as tidy and compact as possible. There just isn’t room for a USB-C plug to go a whopping 6.65mm into it, so your connections are instead tiny gold-plated panels on the device surface, or if you’re Garmin making a watch you have a special low-profile socket for a custom cable. In terms of making Nice Things™ it’s a perfectly sensible approach.But in terms of whole-life usability, it’s a bloody disaster.
I know, I know, we should be better organised and having too many bike widgets with odd charge cables is the epitome of First World Problems. But widget makers are missing a trick here, so here’s an idea that benefits both them and us poor occupants of St Zita’s Home for the Tragically Disorganised.(Rnewkirk7954 under CC BY-SA 3.0 on Wikimedia Commons
