We at BirdonBike really have no interest in purchasing Apple’s new iPad, however, we found this use of the iPad (discovered on this blog) to be pretty funny.
We can’t wait to see someone tooling around Chicago with a $500 turn signal strapped to their back but do like the prospect of its use, not as a turn signal but as a cure for boring landscapes while cycling on a tandem.

In terms of a turn signal, We prefer this DIY Wearable Turnsignal from leah buechley on Instructables.
We hope to go on tour someday with our children (like this family we passed on the Croatian Coast) and think that this use of the iPad, or some type of similar device in a sew on sleeve, might cure some of the boredom either on a tandem, like this family who are touring the Pan-American Highway with their two Eleven year old boys with a tandem and two single bikes or sewn into a Chariot if we were to tour with a younger child like this family on their short tour through Vietnam and Thailand.
