I sure could have used the Madsen Bucket Cargo Bike in college while pledging my fraternity. The pledges were constantly on call to pick up drunk members at the local bars. This eliminated DUI’s, but made life as a pledge rough… because the members were constantly drunk and needing…
Gennady Kolesnikov, a self proclaimed inventor philosopher from a small mining town of Gukovo in the Russian Federation, a town previously unknown for its philosophical or inventing prowess, attempted to improve upon bicycle design by adding an extra wheel… While for some, the idea of inventing a “better” tricycle immediately…
Most folding bikes out there tend to suck, will have tiny wheels, limited speeds, and feel like they are going to fold in half at any minute. Seems things are changing in the folding bike world. Remember the mountain monk downhill folding bike? Details and more pictures and video of…

I love it… I get 30 miles of pure non-pedaling laziness with only 30 minutes of charge time. Very nice. I can hear my BS story already… “I rode my bike to work 5 times this week… who’s the man!?” The 2009 Schwinn Tailwind eBike manages to hide the electronics…
Let me start off by saying… it is about time! Bicycle manufacturers are starting the switch from the metal bike chain to the new smoother belt drive. The clunky bicycle chain has been one of the weak points of the bicycle, in my opinion, for too long. I will…
The folks at Hammacher Schlemmer have a new electric bicycle with an intelligent automatic transmission. The good news… you don’t have to peddle… the bad news is that it costs $5,500. Ouch. “This is the electric bicycle that uses automatic transmission to downshift into a lower gear when it…
