Old School Sound For Your Hipster Bike – Horn Bike
Not sure I like the name "Horn Bike" but I like the idea of this passive and inexpensive iPhone bike speaker. Sure you could wear earbuds, but you might end up as a hood ornament on a Prius. The Horn Bike is similar to other passive speakers we have seen in the past but comes […]

50/50 Savings Bank
Time to upgrade my mason jar piggy bank to the 50/50 Savings Bank which works a bit like the old Pachinko machines. Start off by writing your two savings choices on the tiny dry-erase boards and drop your coins in. Make your choices count though. Mine has "Vegas" on the left and "local strip club" […]

Owl 360 Rear View Bike Camera
I am going to file this under the "why" category. Seriously, do we really need to mount a rear-view camera on a bike? How about a good old fashioned mirror, or even older fashioned, turn your freaking head and look. Any-who, the Owl 360 Rear View Bike Camera ($180) consists of a CMOS camera you […]
