Bicycle Lights of the Near Future

Posted in: biking, Safety Light, taillight

The Arc taillight makes ordinary strobing LEDs seem not only outdated but almost unsafe! This revolutionary design finally addresses the issues left/right signaling and even braking for added security on the road. For brake signaling, the system tracks wheel speed to alert other vehicles when slowing. As for turning, wireless activated handlebar signals indicate the intended direction with riders hands firmly in place. A must-have for day and nighttime riders alike!

A New Generation of Saddles

Posted in: bicycle seat, biking
Since 1866, the Brooks company has been known for its craftsmanship, durability, and quirky British insistence on doing things differently. When it came time to design the first new bike saddle in decades, they sought out IDEO to pay respect to this heritage. The result is a saddle with the same durability as traditional leather saddles, but with modern comfort and weather protection. Called Cambium, it’s a more dependable option for devoted traditionalists!
Cambium is crafted from high-quality materials that are true to the character of Brooks: Vulcanized natural rubber with a layer of woven organic cotton fused to the top. Aluminum and steel for the structure.
For instant comfort and zero maintenance, the uniquely flexible waterproof top is designed to follow the rider’s movements and
deliver immediate comfort. There’s no breaking it in. No need to reset the tension of the saddle over time. No need to weatherproof the material.

Designer: IDEO

EB-0lution

Posted in: biking, electric motorcycle

The EB-0 is an exotic evolution of the modern electric motorcycle that features high-performance bi-motor power delivered independently to each wheel. Other innovations include a windscreen-projected control panel and mean-looking high powered LED headlamps. A see-through “tank” and super-clean tail section emphasize its petrol-free power and give it a look that’s entirely different from other gas-powered and electric bikes alike.

Designer: Franco Pessino

Urban Cyclist’s Dream Come True

Posted in: bicycle gear, biking, cyling gear, Protection

While many folding helmets are designed with a number of complex hard-folds from front to back, this twist on the safety solution is collapsible down the middle. An origami-like system of honeycomb folds compress from left to right, making it just slightly wider than a medium-size book and slim enough to carry in a backpack with room to spare. Simply stretch it out to the appropriate size and throw it on to protect your noggin!
