Go Beyond your limits with Nike Hindsight!

Finally someone decided to pay more attention to bicyclists as opposed to the latest car concepts and car models. Billy May, the author of Nike Hindsight has found the solution to a problem bicyclists have been facing since the bicycle has appeared. Now it is easier to spot all motorized vehicles in traffic due to this invention which equips you with peripheral vision beyond your natural capacity. No more cars sneaking on the street, no more unspotted motorcyclists, less accidents!
Apart from the bifocal lenses, these glasses from Nike add the very useful extent in peripheral vision acquired through fresnel lenses. These lenses have been placed on each side of the glasses so that the normal line of sight of 180% has been pushed to an additional 25% on each side. Even though peripheral vision is distorted to a high degree, the lenses work their way so that the biker can detect all motion in those extra degrees added by the glasses. However this process is very alike to the normal eye far peripheral vision, which, similar to the glasses, only detects motion and therefore no detail is lost.
The greatest benefit of using these glasses is the fact that the biker receives timely information of all vehicles in the area that may be approaching and may be endangering his safety in traffic. Yet this is not the only field in which these glasses can work their magic on. There are numerous sports that could benefit from using this competitive advantage and they could even be used in day-to-day activities. So, what are you waiting for? Personally, I got to have them!
