The two way radio transmission sounds interesting. I just did some testing this afternoon cycling to
the Gym. I could make phonecalls with the voice commands and answer by just pressing my ear. The
mobile phone was stuck way down in my backpack. It was kind of neat. I wasn't going very fast, just
cruising down city streets and my girlfriend said there was a wind noice but not real bad. If I
picked up speed it got worse. The hearing was awesome. It was very convenient to use and it felt no
worse than riding down the street talking to another rider.

You'll notice there is a mike sticking out and reaching towards the cheek. I was thinking maybe a
little windsock out of foam could be made for that.
