As you should be.

That's a cool idea, looks like it won't cost too much either (hopefully). I'd love to see a version of this that attaches to the bar ends so the rider can still see it but it also functions as automatic turn signals. There could even be a version that's also a comprehensive lighting system.

I have only used 2 of mine, both medium to large. The tiny ones see no use at all.

Every MIPS helmet I've tried fit just fine, but if this can actually protect from multiple hits that's pretty cool.

 

Some folks don't like bicycle helmets because the things wobble around on top of their heads like big, loose, goofy mushroom caps. That's where the multi-impact Echo Pro comes in, as its sides can be squeezed in and locked in place for a firm, sleek fit every time.

 

Action camera maker GoPro first indicated interest in public in smart helmet tech in 2024, when it bought Forcite. In 2025, it's moving forward on smart helmet development.

Coms on lemmy, mags on mbin/kbin.

 

LS2 recently won a 4-year legal battle against SHARK regarding a patent in the Spanish Supreme Court. This win coincided with the company rebranding itself to further improve European sales.

See also, numerous studies. Coffee is actually chock full of good shit and 2 to 3 cups in the morning had been shown to protect health.

Sounds like a good warmup?

I've never heard of bike thieves in the wild bothering to pick locks. Nothing is perfect security, it's all about discouraging theft by making it a lot of trouble.

Can you bring it in with you? Definitely worth asking IMO.

This is why I recommend the Skunklock Chemical: Can a grinder get through it? Sure.

Will the person using the grinder keep going after the cut deep enough and release the gas? I kinda doubt it.

Litelock X3 will just take multiple wheels, but after the first few break the chances of them giving up increase.

My EP2 Pro was like $700 and won't turn on without a key (like a car ignition) but even if it locked the wheels that would be insufficient security. You need a quality U-lock with any bike and it needs to be locked to the frame. I'd recommend a Litelock X3 or Skunklock Chemical.

They also sell disk locks but they alone are not adequate.

 

I might be sticking with shorter cranks, but should you make the move? Here's how to decide if short cranks on a road bike is for you.

 

Ari has recovered the majority of the bikes from a shipment that went missing in April thanks to the LA County Sheriff's department, a local bike shop, and tips for customers.

Fat tires are not uncommon among Addmotor's range of electric tricycles, particularly for those built to venture beyond city limits. But the firm's "most versatile" model – the Greattan D utility e-trike – rolls with monstrous 7-inch fat tires.

 

The Sinclair C5 was Sir Clive’s famous first venture into electric mobility, a recumbent electric-assisted tricycle which would have been hardly unusual in 2025. In 1985, though, the C5 was s…
