WSJ\u2019s blog reviews the latest wireless bike gadgets in \u201cCycling Gear With Brains\u201d<\/h2>\n

In a few short years since the development of the smart phone and Bluetooth devices, it seems as though there are endless options to record your ride. The Wall Street Journal online took a look at this market, including tests of the Wahoo Fitness RFLKT+ Monitor plus speed and cadence sensors, and the Lazer Lifebeam helmet.<\/p>\n

From the website of the Wall Street Journal:<\/em><\/p>\n

Wahoo Fitness RFLKT+ Monitor<\/h1>\n

\"wahoo-reflkt-cycling-computer\"<\/a>Wahoo Fitness\u2019s RFLKT+<\/a> acts as a Bluetooth-paired second screen for the iPhone. It\u2019s small and simple, displaying information like heart rate and speed. I liked the RFLKT for its customizability. It also saves your iPhone\u2019s battery: Your screen stays off while it works\u2026 (MSRP $160 CAD)<\/p>\n

Lazer’s LifeBeam Smart Helmet<\/h1>\n

\"lazer<\/a>The $299* LifeBeam<\/a> helmet records your pulse using an optical sensor on the forehead that can monitor blood flow. The one I tried displayed nicely on my RFLKT computer. This is the kind of gadget I love because it\u2019s not adding to the equipment I need. You do have to remember to charge your helmet\u2019s battery…(*CAD MSRP)<\/p>\n
