Get faster – dope naturally…
Understanding Isaac Newton’s laws of motion – more specifically in this case, the 3rd law which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction – to optimize the relationships between mass, inertia, gravity, friction, (oops, we’re being pedantic aren’t we?) will hopefully ultimately make you faster. Or you can dope. But in this case, quite naturally and you’ll pass the drug test each and every … Continue reading Get faster – dope naturally…

Fresh from the International Bicycle Design Competition, industrial design student Balázs Filczer from Budapest designed this helmet concept integrating hi-tech lighting and signaling to increase night time bicycle safety. Just a concept, obviously; weight, battery life, weather resistance, safety protection, venting, and aerodynamic qualities are just a few of the technical hurdles we can foresee that would need to be addressed.
