"If you're a weekend cyclist or maybe someone who bikes to work for exercise, there's a new gadget that's a real game-changer for bikers who are also iPhone owners. \nCompany Wahoo Fitness develops iPhone-syncing devices. Its latest gadget, RFLKT (pronounced \"reflect\"), is an iPhone powered computer for street bikes expected to launch at the end of December or early January. \nThe two-ounce device attaches between your handle bars using the strap pictured and the ties that come with it. It works with the company's iPhone app and Cyclemeter. It also connects to a number of other devices and apps using Bluetooth. This way, while you're cycling, you can view your biking stats from Wahoo's app or another partner app and keep your phone safely in your bag or pocket. You can also control your music through Wahoo's app on the RFLKT. Its an open platform, so more of Wahoo\u2019s 110 app partners will be joining shortly after its launch. The device works with iPhone 4S and iPhone 5. \n\n\nYou could always just get a bike mount for your iPhone, but those have drawbacks. When you use a mount, you have to take your iPhone out of its case, making it vulnerable to drops and scratches. Having the iPhone running for so long also drains the battery.\n\n SEE ALSO: Chest Strap Heart Rate Monitor Reinvented with Breathable Material, Bluetooth \nRFLKT doesn't require charging. It runs on a small coin cell battery, which is easy to replace and very affordable. It lasts about a year or two. \nThe device measures 2.4 by 1.6 inches and is about a half inch thick. There are four big buttons, two on each side of the device, that control what screens you see \u2014 you can switch screens to see all your data. The buttons are also configurable through the app. And it's easier to use four buttons than the touch screen on your iPhone that requires you to look at the screen. \nWahoo has a number of other iPhone-syncing gadgets, like the KICKR \u2014 it's an iPhone controlled bike trainer designed for stationary bike use. \n\n SEE ALSO: iPhone Powered Bike Trainer Lets You Ride Virtual Roads  \nWhat do you think of RFLKT \u2014 would it make your biking safer?
