Nightvision Goggles as a Cheap Alternative to NiteRider Bike Lights
NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.
Why bother shelling out $300 for a blazing bike light when you can get night vision goggles for $90? EyeCyclops is bringing creepy nightvision to stalkers for a reasonable price. You might not be able to see farther then 10 feet in the dark, but think about how cool you’ll look when you roll up on a group of campers—hopefully they don’t shoot you or call the police.

You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile!
Night-blindness... when one of your fellow night riders (who's wearing 'day-makers') shines their light into your face/goggles...
Does the first aid kit have anything for that I wonder?
Limited use. From my personal experience even the NVG's in use by the Army wouldn't be that useful for riding. You lose a lot of depth perception and the image is not all that clear. It's like a camera so you have to focus it at a certain distance....so you can't quickly adjust focus like your eyes can as you look around.
Also I seem to get headaches when using it for extended periods.
That said it would be amusing to watch someone try!
