For those of us who strive to practice environmentally sustainability, yet refuse to sacrifice our German-engineered automobile, Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH along with ADP Engineering GmbH, a top German cycle manufacturer, have combined forces to create a Folding Bike – the newest addition to the highly exclusive Mercedes-Benz Bike Collection. The Folding Bike is everything one would expect from Mercedes-Benz – yet remains an acceptable option for navigating any urban environment. A patented mechanism allows the bike to be folding effortlessly in a two-step process. A quick-release lever near the seat brings the front and rear wheel together, and a second lever above the front wheel allows the handlebars to pivot down. At its most compact, the bike measures 800 x 800 x 260 millimetres – and may easily be placed in the boot of a car or stored in a garage or apartment. Even the rear cargo rack can be used when the bike is folded, and the seven litre Teflon pannier can be accessed. As with any Mercedes-engineered product, the Folding Bike’s suspension system between the aluminium alloy frame ensures the rider will stay comfortable on nearly any surface. The urban cyclist may navigate through the city shifting through five gears whilst remaining safe with highly efficient brake discs. By Andrew J Wiener. See also Eco Yamaha |

Stack hats suck. Most kids would rather suffer abrain injury than endure the humiliation of wearing one. They are likewearing corduroy flares ..on your head. Thanks to Indigo Snowthe Hell is taken out of Helmet with their awesome new line of headprotective gear. Inspired by retro cool Evil Knievel line designs,these helmets have the competitive edge with their injection of organicand reptilian face designs. The cobra and black belly snake skindesigns would make The Fonz weep, whilst the wood grain finish say 'I'm earthy and up for the challenge". Full on flip down eye wearattached is so 'Magnum P.I' its in a cool class of its own. Extremesports safety gear has been at a relatively uninspiring stage for sometime now. It's great to see Indigosnow stepping up to the plate bytaking designs to the next level. by Andy G |
| SWEETSKINZ - Reflective bike tires |
| 2007-10-29 01:36:07 |

When it comes to cycling, combining safety with style is not always easy. However, these new bicycle tires from Sweetskinz merge the two effortlessly. Sweetskinz is a range of nocturnal tires which are light reflective at night. Unlike many reflective add-on features, the entire rubber tire itself is reflective. With urban edge, graffiti inspired patterns such as the fiery 'Scorch' and the snake like 'Rattleback', riders can be seen at night in style. by Andy G see also, pac man bike spokes and hokey spokes |
| Bike Dispensing Machines |

Here at TCH, we love riding bikes through the city. There's something immensely pleasing about sailing past scores of traffic with little more than a push of a pedal. And at the same time, you're burning the calories, and doing your bit to stay green. But there's one thing we hate about this simple mode of transport. People like nothing more than stealing them, damaging them, or driving buses into them. While your safe at work crunching the numbers, who's looking after your ride home? Cue the bike dispensing machine. Brought to you courtesy of bikedispenser.com, a small firm from Amsterdam, the idea is to help facilitate bike rentals in urban areas. Cyclists pay a small fee to hire a bike, and then they can take it where they please. Once they’ve finished, they can return it either to that machine, or another one across town. And because they’ve been fitted with RFID tags, they won’t all have been nicked before you can get one. Now, if only they can do something about those van drivers… By Matt Hussey |
| Nexx Helmets (2007 Collection) |
| 2007-06-12 10:35:03 |

We apologise, but the idea of getting on a motorbike and dodging buses and pedestrians is just not on top of our list of ‘things to do’ before we die. Mainly because it’ll probably shorten how long we have to get through our tick-in-the-box achievements. But there is something inimitably smug in sliding through traffic and being able to park anywhere you like without fear of some ambitious traffic warden clamping your wheels. And now, it’s just got a little bit smugger. Nexx Helmets from the UK have just released their new collection for 2007. Featuring the Nexx Cross Aluminium, a dirt bike shaped helmet, equipped with removable inner so you can make sure your face doesn’t smell like a football boot when your out and about. It looks pretty good too. The range features other helmets including the Integral X10. But our personal favourite is the Nexx Open Face, think Top Gun on the highstreet. The lightweight frame is perfect for easy carry, and it knocks the socks off any other helmet we’ve seen recently. Paired with the other two designs in the range, it’s a bit of a no brainer between these and the cannonballs most people wear when scooting round town. By Matthew Hussey |
| PINEL & PINEL - LUX BIKE |

With everything from designer luxury toilet paper on offer these days, we're not surprised to hear about the luxury bicycle. For those of you not content with a pushbike or mountain bike, Pinel & Pinel, a Paris-based luxury goods manufacturer, has created the 'lux-cycle', available in leather finishes of no less than 51 different colors including chocolate brown and hot pink. It's not all useless fashion,the 'lux-cycle' folds away (into its own custom suitcase) for simple portability. But at just over $6000, we think only Lance Armstrong will be able to afford one. by Billy T |

| CYCLING TUBES - TORONTO |
| 2006-01-26 15:20:03 |
|
Cycling the streets of Toronto in winter has it's pitfalls. Ice Stalactites falling and killing you, Blizzards messing with your speed and killing you and the occasional death by grizzly bear. Well the safest and fastest way to get around a cold city is by tube , and we don't mean London's'. Velo-City is an elevated bikeway, enclosed in tubes to provide protection for all season cycling. The tubes create a natural tail wind which reduces air resistance and increases speed. Cyclists can zip through a network of tubes like lab rats and resurface at various exit points in the street. It's all in the development stages but provides a very bright future to freezing cyclists. by Andy G |

Unlike other fold ups, this bike is for serious riding. Don't let its good looks fool you, the Gobike is strong, durable and can take a hard ride. It's one size fits all, light weight and ultra funky. The Gobike is set to do to the biking world what Razor did for scooters. by Andy G |
