For years, cycling on the weekend had escaped for me. Each pedal strike helps dissolve the pressures that have accumulated throughout the week, and have collected some tools that make these tours better. However, you have learned the difficult way that a lot of equipment brings from the same trip, making you manage a network of sounds and battery levels instead of just riding a damned bike.
Enter the Ray-Ban Meta: Smart Essentials that made the weekend more simple and slightly fun.
Instead of wearing sunglasses, a pair of headphones, and sensitizing with my phone to take pictures throughout the trip, I now have one device that helps in everything.
The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses have achieved a sudden success with more people I sold millions of these devicesCEO Mark Zuckerberg recently said Sales doubled three times last year.
numerous Reddit links and YouTube videos He suggested that many people wear dead glass glasses from Ray Ban while riding a bicycle. Meta also caught – it builds a The next generation of smartground glasses of artificial intelligence with Okley, specially designed for athletes.
I never expected Metas Ray-Ban on the bike. But a few months ago, I decided to try it.
Now, I wear these glasses on biking more than anywhere else. Meta got enough things correctly with these smart glasses to convince me there Something here. It is almost joyful, and with some promotions, it can reach there.

Ray-Ban Meta is just a strong pair of Ray-Ban-Wayfarer sunglasses with transitional lenses and a transparent plastic body.
I found this work well for cycling, protecting the eyes of the sun, dirt and pollen. They sit comfortably under the bicycle helmet – but perhaps not completely. (More about that later.)
The deadly feature of the Meta smart glasses is the camera that sits over your right and right eyes. The glasses allow me to take pictures and videos of the things that I see on horseback only by pressing a button in the right upper corner of the tires, instead of sensitizing my phone – which feels a slightly complicated and dangerous on the bike.
While riding on Golden Gate Park in San Francisco last weekend, Ray-Ban Meta glasses were used to take pictures of the beautiful beautiful Heron Lake, and the thunderous thunderbolt where the Pacific Park is met, and the trees covered at the garden entrance.
Is the camera amazing? no. But this is very good, and I end up picking moments I was never if I didn’t wear glasses. For this reason, I do not see the camera as an alternative to a phone camera, but rather a way to take more pictures and videos completely.
The feature that I use more than others: open loudspeakers in the arms of glasses, which allows me to listen to podcasts and music without prohibiting the noise of people, transport bikes and cars around me. Meta was far from the first company to put loudspeakers in glasses – Bose had a strong husband for years. But Meta’s Take on Open-Ormers is amazing. I was affected by the sound quality and how many traditional headphones on these tours.
I found myself talking to Meta’s Ai a few on the weekend. I recently asked questions about the nature I had seen all over the park – like “Hey, Meta, see and tell me what kind of trees?” – As well as the origins of the historical buildings that I saw.
I usually use cycling as a way to separate the world from the world, so it seemed intuitive to speak with Chatbot AI while riding. However, I found these short queries that led to a cur Poiner around the world around me without absorbing a rabbit hole of content and notifications, which usually happens when I use my phone.
Once again, the greatest thing in these features is that they all come in one device.
This means fewer things to ship, less chaos in a bicycle equipment box, and less devices to manage it along my trip.
Drilling
While the Ray-Ban Meta glasses look great for roaming, they were not designed with cycling.
Often, the Ray-Ban Meta glasses fall into my nose during a rugged journey. When I am a bike inhibitor and I am looking for what awaits me, thick tires prevent my view. (Most of the sunglasses for bikers have thin tires and nose platforms to solve these problems.)
There are some restrictions on how Ray-Ban Meta glasses work with other applications, which are a problem. While I like to take pictures and stop music with glasses, for anything else, my phone should come out of my pocket.
For example, Ray-Ban Meta has Spotify integration, but I had difficulty getting AI to play specific operating lists. Sometimes, the glasses did not play anything when I requested a playlist or played completely the wrong operating menu.
I would like to see these integrations improved-and expanded to include more cycling integration with applications such as Strava or Garmin.
Also, Ray-Ban Meta does not work well with the rest of my iPhone, which is likely to be due to Apple Reconstruction Policies.
I would like to be able to launch texts or move easily through Apple Maps using my Ray-Ban Meta glasses, but such features may not be available until Apple issues its smart glasses.
To leave a dead dead intelligence. Artificial intelligence feature is often described as a main sale point for these glasses, but I often found lack of them.
Meta’s AI’s voice is not impressive as other AI VOICE products from Openai, Perplexity and Google. Artificial intelligence sounds seem more robotic, and I find that their answers are less reliable.
It was recently launched, which was first unveiled at the Meta Connect Conference last year. The feature flows live from the Ray-Ban Meta video to the AI ​​in the cloud, with the aim of creating a smoother way to interact with your auxiliary in artificial intelligence and leave it “see” what you see. In fact, it was tangible hot chaos.
I asked Ray-Ban Meta to identify some of the interesting cars that I was wandering near my apartment. Ford Bronco’s modern glasses were described as an antique Volkswagen beetle, although the two do not seem both. Later, the glasses confidently told me that the BMW in the 1980s was Honda Civic. Closer, but still cars are very different.
During the live AI session, I asked artificial intelligence to help identify some plants and trees. Artificial intelligence told me that the eucalyptus tree was the oak tree. When I said, “No, I think this eucalyptus tree”, he answered artificial intelligence, “Oh yes, you are right.” Song experiences make me wonder why I am talking to artificial intelligence at all.
Google DeepMind and Openai are also also working on the sessions of multimedia International AIs like those that Meta offers with its smart glasses. But at the present time, the experiments seem far from the end.
I really want to see an improved version of Amnesty International Smart Escles I can do on cycling. Ray-Ban Meta is one of the most persuasive AI devices that I have seen so far, and I can see how wearing them on a trip will be joy after some of the main promotions.
