And the winner is… it’s the end of the year, and we’ve just finished counting all of your Facebook likes (and shares) for our 2012 reviews in the Bike and Cycling Gear category. And the item that came out on top was… drum role please… the The Hood by Quarterre, the coolest bike hanger ever. […]

Remember those clips for your ankle that would keep your pants from getting caught in the chain of your bike. Wish they were more stylish? Well, wish no more. The Snap! Bands by Nathan are what you’ll want to wear while cycling round town or through the park on those long pants days. Even better, […]

On a safety kick? We seem to be with another great bike accessory: Pedal Lights by Pedalite. These battery-free (yes!) pedal lights flash when the cyclist is pedaling and store just enough power to keep flashing when you’ve stopped at a road junction. And, you can see these lights up to 1km away. Each package […]

Adorn your bike for the night. Oooh, that may sound creepy, but these Reflective Chopspokes by Cyclelogical simply snap on to your bike’s spokes, and they make your bike (and you) visible in the dark. Your spokes will light up with these reflectors and since they’re moving, they’re more likely to catch the eye of […]

Why do boy’s have that silly crossbar? After all, that crossbar on the bike is clearly unnecessary since a girl’s bike obviously doesn’t need it. Okay, we know it’s for support, but if you’re gonna have it, why not decorate it? And that’s exactly what the folks at Cyclelogical thought when they created their new Patterned […]

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 […]

An innovation in recycling… the very smart folks at Green Guru looked around and saw all those old bike tire inner tubes and figured that they could make something useful with them… and they did! This Shifter Recycled Bike Tube Saddle Bag is a super-well constructed accessory made from recycled bicycle inner tubes. The neoprene strap […]

Maybe the best rear-view mirror for cyclists. The Take A Look Cycling Eyeglass Mirror by Bike Peddler fits on both helmet visors and eyeglasses, and it can be adjusted in nearly every angle to ensure you have a good view of what’s coming up from behind. It’s wide enough for a good field of vision, it […]

Why a cap for your bike seat? To give you a dry place to put your bum. To cover that tear in the saddle. Oh, and of course to add a bit of style to your ride. The BikeCap comes in literally dozens of designs, and this company from The Netherlands also produces sizes for […]

About to launch… hey, where did you get that bike grip? That’s what people will be asking you when they see these GripRings by Spurcycle on your handlebars. You choose from a palette of colored grip rings to form your specially designed grip and the folks at Spurcycle will send that right along to you. Spurcycle […]
