There are basically three things you need to consider before deciding what to print on a vehicle wrap. First, how big is the vehicle and how does its contour slide? Second, given the surface you will be working on, what kind of graphics or designs would best fit the space? And, third, what is the purpose of the wrap?

Assessing the surface

You cannot design a wrap if you do not know what type of vehicle it is going to be installed in. The shape and size of the unit is very important. For instance, if you are dressing a truck, you will need a larger sheet of self-adhesive vinyl. But if you are dressing a motorcycle, then you get to save money by printing on small sheets.

Deciding on the design

Let's say you would like to showcase your flower shop on the wrap. Will you have enough working space to fully print a colorful bouquet, or will too many flowers turn your the wrap into an eyesore on the road? If you have a small space, perhaps just your company's logo will do, or a digital print of one or two of your most sophisticated products.

What is it for?

If you are planning to market your business using a vehicle wrap, then you might consider keeping it as simple as possible. You want an ad that will command the attention of the people around it. However, if you put in too many things on a mobile advertisement, you might distract drivers and cause accidents on the road. Limit your copy and graphics to visually digestible levels. To effectively market your product, what you need is catch-all, not a list of your services in full regalia.

In sum, while what you put on a vehicle wrap is your call, you have to be responsible enough to realize that it will be rolling around town and catching attention. It's good to be the talk of the town, but when it starts getting destructive to others, then that's a different story.

The cyclocomputers that are available today are devices which a cyclist mounts on to their bicycle and which are able to calculate and display information relating to their cycle ride. Although much smaller than the devices you see mounted on either a car dashboard or the front of a motorcycle they do very much the same. The computers display (head unit) will be fixed to the handlebars in order that the person rider the bicycle can view the information much more easily and can alter between screens in order to see other information that they want to know about their trip.

The most basic versions of these computers are able to display the current speed at which the cyclist is traveling as well as their maximum speeds they were able to reach. These devices are also able to show how long each trip took and the total amount of distance that they have traveled each trip.

However there are more advanced models available such as the Vetta V100 wireless cadence kit which also provides some of the following additional features:-

1. Altitude
2. Temperature
3. Cadence rates (speed at which the pedals are being turned)
4. Stopwatch
5. Able to show 2 or more functions on the screen at once

All cyclocomputers used liquid crystal displays so this it makes it much easier for the cyclist to view the information that is displayed in front of them. Often each head unit will come with several buttons for use by a rider and can be used for a number of different reasons. They are able to help them switch between various functions as well as being able to allow them to reset the various values that they need to key in include the time and the distance. Plus it is with this that you will need to first calibrate or recalibrate the device every time that it is used.

As well as the head unit each device will come with a sensor that is attached the frame and then a magnet is either attached to the front or rear wheel or to the wheel hub or the crank arm. When the wheel or crank arm is moving the sensor will detect a magnet which passes over it and this in turn then determines either the speed at which the cyclist is traveling or the distance they have traveled. The sensors that are used to measure cadence rates (such as the Vetta V100) will have the sensor mounted to the frame and a magnet attached to the crank arm.

As previously mentioned cyclocomputers can have the sensor wired into the head unit or they will transmit the data from the sensor (which contains a transmitter) wirelessly to the head unit. But whenever a person does install such a computer onto their bicycle then it will need to be configured properly and it is therefore important that they read the instructions provided to them by the manufacturers of the device that they have purchased.
