“The idea for COBI is rooted in the passion for cycling found around the world,” explained Andreas Freitag, COBI’s Chief Marketing Officer. “So when we decided to create this video, we wanted to include some of the people who share this passion… a way of giving back to those who inspired it’s creation.”

Deadline for video entries is Sunday, May 29 and two winners will be selected from all videos submitted. Each video should be between 0:30 and 1:00 in length and submitted to www.cobi.bike/casting. Winners will be announced on June 1.

Similar to the hands-free, Bluetooth-powered phone and music systems featured in many automobiles, COBI uses a smartphone to seamlessly blend dozens of connective, navigational, and  convenience tools into your cycling experience to create an elegant, simple to use, fully integrated application and smartphone system that keeps you connected to the rest of your life while riding.
