Dumb and Dumber!

      I'd really like to think that technology has made some progress.  It has.   The wheel is important, electricity used to be cool until it became an environmental problem, micro chips changed society forever, but those are only small parts of the Roomba.   The robotic vacuum is the pinnacle of technological innovation.  It cleans my house three or four times a week and doesn't bitch about it; versus my doing it (maybe) once and whining like a baby the whole time.

      So I'm no retro grouch demanding regression to woolen underwear,

 but the Vyron remote controlled seat post strikes me as over the top.

Think about it, this gidget will adjust the saddle height by remote control.  Why?  I read the article by Leonard Zinn.   I still don't know why.  I assume there are people willing to pay 3-500 dollars for a seat post which adjusts in motion for some reason other than his riding buddies don't have one.

We know it's a game changer (0 wires!!), but what game?  

        Of course, I have the nerve to question electronic shifting and everybody knows it's the wave of the future.  Anyway, I assume it is all part of the integrated improvement of cycling for the masses. Next we will get  adjustable crank arms to automatically provide leverage for the terrain as we ride with our gear selection controlled by power meters adjusting for the pre-ordained route provided by Garmin,

 to maximize the energy output we witness through our Recon Jet glasses

 coordinated  by a cell phone app which will also dictate our leisure time

 eating habits to better develop and control our recreational output.

Or, just say screw it, ride our bikes around a bit and have a beer.
