Googly Eyes Go Pro

Googly eyes can save you up to 8 watts, if you know where to look. Correctly placing oogling onlookers keeps air attached for longer, providing slipstream benefits similar to time trial helmets.

The googlies function like other stick-outy bits seen on aerodynamic clothing and frames. Inspired by nature, eyes guide airflow to the fastest path across the bike. Which, contrary to popular belief, is NOT a straight line.

Scientists, physicists, and anthropologists collaborated to mimic the flow of some of the fastest streams they could find within a short walk from home. By replacing each pupil with sensors they quickly determined that air was indeed flowing over and around the googly eyes.

Surprising Bonus Feature

An unexpected benefit found testing on cobbles is the extreme jostling of eyes while racing across bumpy terrain. A phenomenon researchers unanimously named “googling”.

Most neighboring riders tend to cramp from laughing, spit out their hydration, or a combination of both.

Googly eyes are currently available pretty much everywhere. With special race-edition UC-eyes expected later this year.
