The Infinity Seat
If you’re like us, it took a while to find the ideal saddle for our bikes. And there was also an “adjustment” period, and definitely soreness after century rides. And what works for us doesn’t necessarily work for others. Well, here’s another neat, new project from Kick Starter that aims to revolutionize the bicycle saddle. Continue reading The Infinity Seat
Butt war…but not what you think
Here’s another nifty new project from Kickstarter that’s one of those, “why didn’t we think of it sooner”? ideas: women’s cycling chamois panties that offers versatility without having to look like a TdF cyclist in full kit everywhere. Check out the video. Continue reading Butt war…but not what you think
It’s a bird, it’s a plan, it’s a……
….bike, er, tricycle, uh, quadracycle? Another bike-related project on Kickstarter is this prototype flying thingamajig – the Paravelo. Touted as the world’s first flying ‘bicycle’ – though pedants like us might disagree on the term, as we see four wheels once it’s hooked up to the flying contraption part. And the video is a bit of a mystery on how the guy lands. Enjoy. Continue reading It’s a bird, it’s a plan, it’s a……
Switch Aero System
If you’re like many cyclists who don’t have deep pockets or missed out on Powerball, then you’ve probably faced the dilemma of deciding which bike to buy for what activity – mountain, commuting, road, tri, etc. And like many budding roadies cum triathlete, or vice versa, it can be frustrating to know that one type of bike doesn’t translate well to the other. The compromise … Continue reading Switch Aero System
The BikeSpike
Another new KickStarter project that you may be interested in – the BikeSpike. A GPS-based location tracker for bikes, neatly cradled in the custom carbon fiber bottle holder. Oh, an open API inviting developers/hackers to apply the tech as they see fit. Because of the built-in accelerometer, it can notify your friends and family in the event you’ve crashed – we speculate it’ll measure weird bike angles … Continue reading The BikeSpike
Get Smart, Get Rich?
One of my favourite running shirts says on the back, “If you see me collapse, pause my Garmin.” And thousands of other anal-retentive, obsessive compulsive, runner and roadie gear junkies could relate and all nod in agreement. Yes, that’s how hooked up many of us are to our Garmin, Polar, PowerTap, Quarg, Strava, or whathaveyou GPS-enabled/wireless/Bluetooth/ANT+ devices. There’s always an app for that. And post-ride/run, we’re … Continue reading Get Smart, Get Rich?
