A bike lock that kicks butt. That has to be what the folks at Knog were thinking when they put together the Straight Jacket Bike Lock. This is one solid piece of steel shackle (ahem, chain). Yea, at a couple of pounds, it may weigh a bit more (you can handle it), but no one […]

Pre-release preview! Our friends at Knog sent us their latest product: the Blinder 1 Light which was just announced at the Eurobike 2012 exposition in Germany. Soon to be available in US stores, this small device puts out a strong 20 lumens visible at 500 meters and amazingly runs off of a Lithium polymer battery […]

Maybe the best rear-view mirror for cyclists.

Sometimes a little bedazzling is a good thing, especially if it makes your bike safer. These Commuter Mud Flaps with Happy Faces by Rainy Day Biking have a high visibility prismatic reflective surface which just means that they reflect really, really well. And with autumn coming soon and dusk setting in sooner, that little bit […]

A cup holder for your bike? The bar-ista (as in it connects to your handle-bars) by PDW may have a clever name, but it also has a clever design with its alloy construction built to carry your a travel mug full of your favorite hot drink. Cyclists unite! … but maybe first let’s have some […]

The wacky but stylish designers at Knog have released their new Kransky Bike Lock. This Silicone overmoulded braided 12mm steel cable with a fiber core comes in four colors. Don’t be afraid of all their (ahem) sausage innuendos because these are good solid locks that easily wrap around your frame (see, now they have us […]

Okay weekend bikers, Specialized has released their Bicycle Components Starter Kit.

Cyclists unite! We need the best, not just the shortest, route for biking. And the new Ride the City online service beats all the other route generators by factoring in street segments that actually have bike lanes and greenbelts for cyclists. It also maps out where the bike shops are along the way. Because honestly, […]
