The Evolution of Bicycles

You can’t reinvent the wheel but you can certainly put it to good use especially just like The Evolution of Bicycles did, The new print from Pop Chart Lab utilizes over 75 intricately detailed illustrations to show off how bicycles have evolved (and even their wheels) since the 1780’s. From high-wheel “boneshakers” of the Victorian Era to your modern-day Fixie, this 24″ x 18″ print will certainly take you on a ride through history and even a few WTF’s. Each print is signed and numbered by the artists from a first printing of 500, so if you like authentication you’d better get on it fast!

Pecker Bike Grips

Adding unique aspects to your bicycle is something that we always approve of. If you are getting tired of having the same synthetic grips as everyone else, then you should get the Pecker Bike Grips. These real wood bike grips are treated with natural resin hard oil to protect it from water, heat and dirt while still maintaining their natural wood structure. This sustainable alternative may seem like a small detail change, but can make a difference in the biggest of ways.

Rubbee Drive

We’ve posted several electric bikes in our day, but they can obviously drift over to the pricey side if you aren’t careful. Some, if not most people already have a bike so whats the point of getting an electric one? Well, that’s where the Rubbee Drive comes into play. All you have to do is mount it with a few simple steps: clamp it on the seat tube, remove the fixation pin to enable the suppression system, connect the throttle, press the on/off button and you’ll be on your way. It’ll get you about 15 miles without pedaling, a top speed of up to 15mph, and you’ll even arrive to work without a single sweat drop running down your face. Now that my friends is a win-win situation.

Helios Bars

We were pretty impressed with the Indicator Bike Lights, but Helios Bars might be stealing the show, for now. As the world’s first integrated headlight and blinker system for bicycles, these aluminum handle bars are made to fit on almost every bike while installation couldn’t come any easier. With small detail adding up to a huge convenience, these bicycle handle bars feature 500 lumens proximity lighting, turn signals and a GPS tracking system that lasts up to 15 days without a battery. If you do end up picking these up, then you must download the Helios iOS app which gives you access to proximity lighting,  a visual speedometer and ambient lighting to impress the ladies (not really). You can help the project reach its goal through Kickstarter but act quickly as there are only two days left to do so.
