Here’s an awesome design for a bike that will let the rider “low-ride” or “high-ride” while ridin’. What a great concept, I can envision future bikes coming like this.
Created by German industrial designer Stefan Wallmann, the Zweistil provides with two riding positions. One to travel in the city, when you need to be more agile and aware of the traffic around you. The other is to travel long distances and for leisure, when you can lay back and enjoy the views.
If you are like me, you are probably very familiar with bike lights that use the power of the pedal to keep your eye-sight bright when riding at night. Well, here’s a great idea that uses that same power, except to power your USB gadgets such as iPod, iPhone, or whatever.
We initially theorized the development and feasibility of a regenerative braking system for use on bicycles. This system would create a mobile power source to extend the battery life of portable electronic devices carried by the rider.
Seeing cool motorcycles like these are the days I will want to go bash on the highway and do wheelies on my gixxer. No, just kidding, I am not that good yet but heck, this V8 sidecar motorcycle might be just the killer getaway vehicle for those of you thugs on the run. (via hackedgadgets)
One of the most efficient ways to work out on your treadmill or bike is to read a magazine or a book. Or should I say “inefficient”? (if you go too slow)
You’ve probably seen these everywhere including at even the worst fitness centers in the world but you can always make your own like this guy did for his wife.
Doing any riding on the exercise bike this year? Getting bored going nowhere fast? Don’t have a
Here’s a cool Eye Lamp that will open up as it sees human presence. (or animals too for that matter)
I do like it but it’s still a design, here’s a bunch more eye lamps you can buy though:
Eye Plasma Lamp is a good one for your livingroom, get bunch of these and turn
Here’s a simple picture of how much space that cars, bus, and bikes take in comparison to the number of people using it. I have to say they should add skateboards, which should definitely come on top for the most eco-friendliest vehicle.
In this image, you can see three interpretations of what it takes to get the same amount of people into town for work, shopping or for whatever reason they would need to travel. They have chosen three modes of travel, car, bus and cycle, this picture says it all.
I do remember giving up on my bike while going to college, simply due to the fact that Police in Davis are not as bike-friendly. (Davis, California is one of the only cities in California that forces you to get a BIKE PERMIT otherwise you can easily get a BIKE parking ticket. What a bunch of jokes, that’s why I started skateboarding after receiving my first bike parking ticket for $40, no more biking there. F
This isn’t the best bike rack hack I have ever saw but it’s still worthy of a blog post. You can easily hack your bike rack to hold more weight by re-using old pieces of metal and wires as shown in the picture.
Random piece of metal + bailing wire = not only a great way to support the milk-crate carryall, but also a great hack! Simple, cheap, effective…I like.
When I used to go to middle school about 20 years ago, I used to have a rack for my alto saxophone I’d carry to school. It was very heavy and the ropes made my bike look like a bike SUV. (if there’s such a thing)
Anyways, here’s a cool bicycle DIY on how to make a cargo trailer for your bike, sorta like motorcycles.
The front half is an old 26er mtb frame that I had been using as an errand/beater bike. The back half is a 29er mtb frame that I had purchased online a couple years ago… it showed up with a bad head tube/dow
