wireless, regenerative, compact and simple way to get up hills when biking, or just lower the effort to bicycle around... the Copenhagen Wheel

of course, it's about a thousand dollars... but, that might not deter you if you're faced with a daily commute to work.

Exactly how much assistance it provides can be predetermined by the rider, using an app on their smartphone. That app also allows them to track their riding stats, including distance traveled, calories burned and elevation gain.

It features either a 250-watt or 350-watt hub motor (buyer's choice), a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, a range of approximately 30 miles and a top assisted speed of 20 mph. It weighs 12 lb, and is available in 26-inch, 27-inch and 700C sizes.

genius parking technique invented in Russia, use a small trailer to take your parking spot until you get home at night, never search for parking again

when parking gets hard to find, and old used trailers are cheap and legal.. this was the inevitable conclusion

SaferMoto makes an array of lightweight protective vests and jackets equipped with airbags that have helped many riders walk away from crashes

They use an internal deployment system that connects to a motorcycle by tether, and deploys within .25 seconds if ejected from the bike, often before a rider’s brain even registers they’ve been thrown off.

It takes at least 66 pounds of pressure to trigger the airbag mechanism, pressure caused only by a forceful movement by the rider so that unnecessary deployment is avoided if they merely forget to disconnect the tether from the bike when dismounting.

The padding created by the inflation seems stiff and sustained enough to create a protective barrier against the back area. The collar also appears constricting enough to keep a helmet from compressing against the shoulders.





Skip the first minute, of course, as always

Plus, they say they offer a military discount, which is extended to police.

preventing hail damage

I picked up on the fact that some people figured out the car insurance aspect, windshields often are below the deductable, and you might have to out of pocket for them, and cops target them for tickets, but the rest of the car body? Hail damage isn't going to get ticketed, and is immediately over the insurance deductable

Clever Range Rover "ticket to adventure" marketing idea

This British-built square-tracked Fordson was made in the late 1930s for the army for trench digging then it was retired to the farm.

Here it is running at the Great Dorset Steam Fair in 2008
