Sena SMH10R Is A Specialty Bluetooth Headset For Motorcycle Riders

GADGETS

Using your Bluetooth headset works just fine when you’re using your BMW M.

Designed specifically for motorcycle riders, it bears a form factor that’s smaller and less obtrusive than your standard Bluetooth headset. That way, you get to don your favorite SpongeBob moto helmet, all while [...]

What If Wall-E And A Tapeworm Had A Child?

GADGETS

Don’t get me wrong, flexi flash flashlight looks pretty functional but I can’t help think this is what it would have looked like if Wall-E had ended up with a tapeworm instead of EVE. Now that we have that thought out of the way, lets get to the nitty gritty of this cool flashlight. Made with bendy silicone, think of it as a wristband with LEDs installed on one end. Instead of being worn on your arm, you can wrap [...]

A’ME’s Heated Bike Grips Will Get You Through Those Winter Rides

SPORTS

Riding a bike during winter sounds like an invitation to disaster.

These A’ME Heated 1.3 Tri grips should prove a smart addition to your riding ensemble. That’s right, it’s a pair of clamp-on grips to help keep your fingers toasty.

Pannier Skaterack Lets You Throw A Skateboard Onto Your Bike

SIMPLY COOL, SPORTS

You want to take your shiny new fixie for a spin. But you also want to hit the skate park and practice your grinds before you head home. Normally, that’s not a problem with your SSCY Bandolier Bag and its board-holding powers, but you don’t really want to carry an entire bag — just a board. If you had the Fairdale Pannier Skaterack on your bike, that won’t be a cause for concern. Just like regular panniers, this one attaches [...]

Hiplok, A Bike Lock That Doubles As A Fashionable Belt

FASHION, FEATURED, SIMPLY COOL

Everyday, I see bicycle riders pedaling away with a chain lock tied around their body. And it looks horrible, apart from likely being dangerous (the chain can hook onto something during an accident, which can make its repercussions worse). The Hiplok does away with the horrible part, having been intentionally designed to be worn like a belt when not holding your bike against a post. A chain lock at heart, the accessory is made with heavy duty steel chain links, [...]

Seasucker, A Bike Rack That Sucks

GADGETS, SPORTS, WHEELS

Installing bike racks on a car requires a fair amount of work. When you put one in, you’d likely just keep it on to avoid having to do all that laborious activity a second time. The Seasucker Autmotive simplifies setting up a mounting facility for your ride, using temporary fittings that stick to surfaces using a sucking motion. They’re not suction cups, though — the company is very careful to point that out. Instead, these are vacuum cups, which attach [...]

LiveRider Equips Your Bike With An Onboard Computer

GADGETS

Cars have long deserved computers. Ever since David Hasselholf rolled with KITT in the Knight Rider, we all knew it made perfect sense. Bicycles, on the other hand, are manually-operated and are largely Luddite possessions. Why the hell would you install a computer in one? The LiveRider kit is a hardware/software combo that, when paired with an iPhone or an iPod Touch, lets you equip your pedal-pusher with an onboard computer. While it won’t talk like Kitt does, it will [...]

ENTERTAINMENT, GADGETS, TO DO

Love the “vroom-vroom” sound of a motorbike, but prefer to ride the more eco-friendly alternative? Get the best of both worlds with the Turbospoke, a bicycle attachment that gives it a badass-looking exhaust, complete with an all-natural “engine” noise. Before you think there’s anything high-tech going on, let’s put that to rest. It’s actually a modern update of the old clothespin-plus-playing card trick, where the spokes on your bicycle’s wheel flick through a pinned plastic card, creating an irritating flackety-flack-flack [...]
