Monday, 20 September 2010 13:22

We are always on the lookout for a different way of doing things… especially if it involves Front Wheel Drive and this video offering from “scbvideoboy” fits that bill perfectly. Really interesting shots of some of the “custom built differential and air shock swingarm with limited travel suspension”. Thanks for the look!

Bill Cook, founder and former owner of Barcroft Cycles, rode along with Team Bent Up Cycles during their 2010 Race Across America effort.

PannonRider

Sunday, 19 September 2010 01:00

Key Chain Micro Camera

Saturday, 18 September 2010 11:10

This key-chain camera (give me a break… my first video camera almost required a separate seat on the airplane it was so large) is way too small to produce either good video and/or good audio… right? Wrong! David Hembrow pointed this unit out on his Facebook site. He has a little test video showing its [...]

Shake, Rattle or Roll

Saturday, 18 September 2010 06:13

Wilfred Ketelaar uncovered this “Vibration Activated 120dB Anti-Theft Security Alarm with Remote Control” at DealExtreme.com/details.dx/sku.33475 → With this unit (priced with delivery at near $10) or one like it, the idea is that it is small enough to put on your bike/trike/velomobile in some way that [...]

Power Analyzer

Friday, 17 September 2010 05:38

Many of you will recognize this device… it is the “thumb-controller” on Penny’s electric-assisted trike. Simply pushing that plastic paddle shaped thing-a-majig causes the trike to accelerate. Unfortunately, it is paired with a three light sytem for measuring the amount of energy left in the battery pack. The green light indicates you are fine, a [...]
