Yesterday, the Fly6 bicycle camera and rear-light was successfully funded on Kickstarter, and now it's officially available for pre-order. Essentially, the Fly6 replaces your bike's existing tail-light and records the rear view of your ride in real-time. Why is this useful? Because as cyclists well know, motorists often have very little respect for people on bikes—even when it is perfectly legal for…
The Buca Boot is a new Kickstarter project designed to make biking with items easier than now. While saddle bags, cases and more exist, the Buca Boot is a new lockable, waterproof, handsome rig that's designed to be more flexible than products out there. The Buca Boot fits any standard bike rack, so no drilling is required on your bike frame. The…
If you live in a big city where lots of people like to get around on bikes, you already know that it can be difficult to find a good space to park your own bike. Or sometimes you have to park a vehicle far away from your destination and it would help to have a small bike to finish the journey. The…
I've been passively on the lookout for a decent iPhone bike mount, and the Quad Lock looks to be an excellent choice. You can attach it to your bike's frame using the provided pair of rubber o-rings if you're going to be moving the mount between bikes a lot, or you can use zip-ties for a more permanent mount. Once the mount…
Whether I'm on the trails on riding my bike to work, I use Map My Ride to track of my miles, speed, etc. While it's not perfect, it's simple. I start the app on my iPhone 5, stick it in my bag, and start pedaling. While bike computers are cheaper and simpler to use than ever, I like that I can keep…
Ever since I bought myself a road bike last year, I've been super paranoid about leaving it in public places. I've got a pretty nice lock, but I've read enough horror stories to know that a persistent thief will quickly find a way to remove it, which is why I'd feel a lot more comfortable if I had a BikeSpike. This Kickstarter…
With a silicone band and watch-style metal buckle, this ID is a great-looking way to stay safe running, biking or rock climbing. In fact, I don't do anything without mine on; thanks to its handsome looks, I can even wear it dressed up. The metal plate is designed to contain information that would be vital in the case of an emergency. If…
The Bikemate Slim Case 3 is a bike-mounted case that fits the iPhone 5, 4S and almost any other smartphone out there. Made from dual layered water proof film and a snug tight foamex bag, the case will keep your phone dust free during your ride, but still allow use of the touch-screen. While not waterproof, the case should keep your phone…
If you're a bike rider, why not let all of your houseguests know? This 4-pound, 10-inch bowl is made of recycled, de-greased bike chain, wound and built by hand by the Resource Revival team of gifted artisans in Mosier, Oregon. Each month these artists collect 3,000 pounds of bike parts to re-work in to such items. And that's pretty cool.
