I'm no luddite. In fact, I'm probably as anchored to my iPhone as a teenager making prom plans. But bluetooth helmets have me eternally conflicted over the issue of technology creep.

Helmets with listening devices are nothing new (remember the good ole' Chatterbox?), but Schuberth's new S2 takes audio technology a step further by featuring the world's first embedded antenna. Schuberth says the dual-band antenna?improves FM radio reception and?enhances sound quality when communicating with other riders up to 1/2 mile away. The otherwise innocuous looking lid also offers bluetooth connectivity with streaming stereo audio, along with active noise cancellation so the folks on the other end can't tell you're jamming down the highway at breakneck speeds.
?
Do I unconditionally disapprove of devices that distract from the simple joys of moving through space on two wheels? Absolutely not. Especially on long rides, there's something great about listening to tunes or discussing the finer points of scenery with your riding partners. But like limiting hours spent watching television or surfing the 'net, a little bit of discretion goes a long way towards maximizing the enjoyment of the very thing you've set out to do... what do you think?
