Why Bikers are Buzzing
For anyone who’s got an Apple Watch, the latest tweak lets you “feel” the route. Think of it as your wrist giving you a gentle buzz when you need to slow down, plus a friendly voice which says “Turn right in 200 feet.” It’s all about keeping your eyes on the road and your feet on the pedals.
