About obico

The idea for this computer came when we were on our bicycle tour 2007. Afterwards we were looking for a bicycle computer that fits our needs, but we couldn't find one. So the idea was born, to build an own bicycle computer. Since June 2007 we are working on this project and a first prototype was running in December 2007. The first instance (with housing) was introduced to the public in May 2008 at the LinuxTag fair in Berlin. During this summer we were on the road with oBiCo and showed it at different events (see the Events 2008 link for more details). Afterwards in September we made an outdoor test with one prototype and we foud out some points that have to be improved. This autumn and winter (2008/09) we'll use to bring forward this project.
