This tire design has LED bulbs infused to work at any speed, serving as daylight running lights or night lights for post sunset rides. Fog, rain, dusk and dawn beware; these lights are great for any condition.
VW has revealed its newest transportation design: the bicycle. This foldable, compact electric bike has a range of a little over 12 miles, and cruises at a little over 12 mph. It derives its energy from the vehicle, not needing to plug into a socket or be removed from the vehicle to charge. I hope this concept becomes a reality.
Bike racks don’t have to be boring. Here are 20 creative ways that Dero has designed bike racks for use by communities and businesses.
The OnBike is as stealth as can be. Hidden cables, hidden chain and a finish as dark as night. The design even utilizes an off-center fork, a maintenance-free gear box and disc brakes to show off its unique composition. This bike is a smoke screen or oil slick spray away from being the official ride of Bruce Wayne himself.
This bicycle built for three is a great design, made with the whole family in mind. Though it does look like a Duchamp painting come to life, this three-seater will definitely turn a few heads. It makes me wonder how many customized bikes like this have turned out from someone’s garage; it looks like it could pass for something from the 1920’s.
I always thought that the kinetic powered bike lights were a cool design; then I saw this. Although only a theory, the design should work. This concept uses the motion of the bike tire to spin a felt wheel that drops a trail of colored chalk from a hopper. The end result is a colorful trail that shows other riders and drivers where bicyclists have traveled. A nice way to leave your mark, a great way to find your way back, and a perfect way to promote safe riding practices. But, again, it is only in the concept stage, so we will have to wait!
This innovative design for a bike lane that goes wherever you go is brilliant! This is one of those great inventions I always end up finding and saying to myself, “how clever, I should have thought of that!” If they could only project shadows for daylight use, they’re golden!
This inventive bike marketed by Skip Hop lets your little one graduate from sit and scoot, to tricycle to bicycle with ease. By keeping your child familiar with the seating and handlebars throughout the transformation of this patented Wishbone bike, it will be no time before they are building ramps and jumping cars behind the garage!
Maybe Santa will be kind enough to leave you one of these under the Christmas tree this year (or for just over $900 you can buy it yourself!) Trek now offers this whisper of a ride for those of us who would never miss the click and clack of the metal bicycle chain.
