LED bike tyres

August 5th, 2010 · Meg - Sydney · No Comments

cyglo-press1cyglo-press2

Cyclo tyres are switched on using a motion sensor within the tyre, high powered, tough and durable LED bulbs are built into the tread or wall of the tyre and can either flash or be permanently on, so when the wheel turns at any speed, a perfect ring of light is formed whilst continually and perpetually creating it’s own power.

See http://www.nightbrighttyre.com/ for more info and a cool video of the tyres in action.

Copenhagen Parts Bike Porter

July 13th, 2010 · Anja - Berlin · 1 Comment

Copenhagen Parts have come up with a very clever thing - an integrated handlebar and basket.

copenhagen parts bike porter

It’s made from heat-treated alloy tubing and rod, making it lightweight and robust. It can be installed just like any normal handlebar by attaching it to the bicycle using a two part stem (A-head stem).

The bike porter has been nominated as Best Bicycle Accessory 2010 by the Munich Bike Expo and also goes very well with veloheld bikes. ;)

Women specific bike shop NYC

July 13th, 2010 · Meg - Sydney · 1 Comment

15bike-span-articlelarge

“THE graphic designer Julie Hirschfeld had a simple manifesto for Adeline Adeline, her bicycle boutique for women: “No spandex!” The result is a store aimed at fashionistas who wouldn’t consider Lycra bike shorts, or ditching their Louboutins just because they are on two wheels.”

The store, in TriBeCa, sells an assortment from polka-dot helmets, to an oversize organic linen bag from Japan that crosses over the chest for easy riding, bikes, loads of cute accessories, and you can even book an hour long consultation, which includes test drives. Bikes are repaired downstairs.

Adeline Adeline, 147 Reade Street (Hudson Street); (212) 227-1150
