    They do not yet make road bike helmets. Motocross only, with the big visors. (Which you don't want to be wearing at 80 mph if you look up to see an eagle flying, unless you want to join him.)

    You could kluge together a Sparkomatic automotive cruise control system from J.C. Whitney. It'll work. Sort of. With ugly bits sticking out, and holes in the tupperware to make room for...

    Who buys the MCC if it's so expensive? People who want cruise badly enough to part ways with $900. Not very many, in other words.
