We love riding. We love our bike. We hate, and will probably continue to hate, our bike lights. They don't properly illuminate the road. The batteries die. The flashing is so annoying it turns you into a bullseye for cars and gives you a migraine at the same time. Most frequently, they get forgotten and/or stolen. ... continue reading
We've always been fans of stripping (you could just put a period right there) away extra parts and excess bulk when it comes to the products we love. So when it comes to bike lighting, why have a clip-on LED when you could have your lights built right into the seat post? The LightSkin seat post from Epic Bike has a handful of ... continue reading
It might be a rare occasion, but if you have ever dropped your pocket knife in a pond while out camping, you know the annoyance involved in retrieving that sucker. The Cork Knife eliminates any fear of cutting rope on the side of a lake or whittling wood over a creek while you're on your next trip. The cork handle ... continue reading
This car is just backwards. Normally, the ride comes out first and then Hot Wheels models a toy after it. This time, Chevy is taking their inspiration from the diecast toy company with the Camaro Hot Wheels Edition. The $6995 upgrade to a 2013 Camaro 2LT or 2SS will get you an exclusive graphics-accented metallic Kinetic ... continue reading
Well that does it, we're selling our car. Actually, we're selling our car and some prized possessions so we can afford the $40k Quadski when it gets released next month. The quad-meets-jet-ski vehicle has just skyrocketed to the top of our "Must Have" list. With the ability to hit speeds of 45 mph on both land and ... continue reading
As we listen to Adele's "Skyfall" theme on loop and eagerly anticipate the next installment in the 007 saga, we'll pass our time playing with this set of Bond mini vehicles. Sure, the die-cast set of eight Bond rides is probably meant for display, but that won't stop us from breaking out some Hot Wheels tracks and ... continue reading
There's nothing more annoying than busted bike accessories. Ok, that's a lie. Getting your bike accessories stolen is actually more annoying. Regardless of the reason, sooner or later something is going to happen to all of your bike upgrades. Take your light for instance. You're going to forget to take it off, and ... continue reading
Going back to the drawing board in product design is something we hear all the time, but never really seems to hit as close to home as it does with The Bicymple. Scalyfish Designs has literally reimagined the bicycle from the ground up and The Bicymple is the result. With the removal of the chain (yeah, seriously), ... continue reading
We're amazed at the amount of upcycled bike gear we continuously find. It's like bikes subscribe to some sort of Buddhist rebirth ideology where they die and come back to life in a new form. The latest we stumbled across are these Bike Chain Belt Buckles available from Bike Craft. Each buckle is a TIG welded, powder-coated ... continue reading
We buy 70-80% of our books based on the cover. Say whatever you want, but style matters. Of course, the adage is true since most of those books ended up being terrible, but we get sucked in by a pretty face. When you can find products that take both style and quality into account, you usually end up with a lasting ... continue reading
In case you haven't figured it out by looking at the picture, BodyFloat is a replacement bike seat post that doubles as a suspension system. The patent-pending design utilizes dual spring parallelogram science something or other (kind of looks like the alien legs from "The Arrival") to basically remove you (and your ... continue reading
Seeing as how just about no one pays attention while driving these days, you'd best make yourself as visible as possible when you're riding your bike. Monocle will make sure you never leave your bike light behind when you hop on your two-wheeler. The clever little pouch and app turns your iPhone into an impromptu bike ... continue reading
We don't fully understand the "Baby On Board" signs you see on minivans all the time. It's not like we go around playing demolition derby until we see a car with that bright yellow sign and then ease up. If we're going to start putting warnings out there for other drivers, we might as well continue with the other precious ... continue reading
The issue with most electric skateboards is their weight. A skate deck is meant to be used and then carried not used and then attached to a rope and pulled down the street like a child's red wagon. Boosted Boards wants to fix that. At 12 lb., this longboard won't put the biggest strain on your rotator cuff when you're ... continue reading
There’s an enjoyment you get from something you build yourself that you won’t get from a fully packaged product. When a buddy of ours decided to build his own bike, we figured we’d document the process. ... continue reading
That buzz cut you're rocking now could one day turn into some flowing locks like you're on the cover of a romance novel. With these changes comes the inserting and removal of those cushioned pads in your bike helmet to make it fit without dropping in front of your eyes. Carrera has cleverly fixed this minor issue (and ... continue reading
