Unfolding your Doppelgänger

If you bought yourself the Doppelgänger folding bicycle from Japan like this model,...


...you need to learn the special safety mechanism it has to unfold one.

  

Yes, they also have full suspension foldable bikes running on 26" wheels.




I know, because they are selling at:

Stay safe. Lights up!

If you are out riding your bicycle at night, make sure that you can be seen by fellow road users.

You should have a tail light or rear bike light like the following which comes with a USB adaptor for recharging the Lithium polymer battery.  It has two types of mount so that you can decide if you would like to locate it at the saddle or seat post.


You will also require a headlight or front bike light.  



There are models that also come with helmet mount.  What is the point of mounting your headlight on your helmet?  Without moving your bicycle, you can shine the light in the direction you are looking at.

Kids' bikes are here

Just received these.  Cute for age 4-5.


Sweet for the young lady in the house with basket and carrier installed.

Not forgetting the boys looking for the sporty bike.


See anything you like?

Going electric on your bike is...

Going electric on your bike is going to be easy once Rubbee, a rechargeable electric drive, is in the market. At 6.5 kg (14 lbs), it is definitely light for a conversation kit.

So, what if you do not have any skills in electronics and mechanics to mount it? Will it be possible to have it mounted on your bicycle "in just a few seconds", as claimed?

Watch this video and decide for yourself.

 

 So, what is its limitation? I can't see any as long as the throttle is connected.

 

 Rubbee is a KickStarter project with 17 days left to reach their goal of raising £63,000 to get it moving.

Bicycle tales boring? No way!

Who in the world rides bicycles?


Just anyone.  Good...



...or bad.


Anything goes.


Some like to do it with no hands.


Just remember to wear your helmet or you will be (s)creaming your brains out.



With some help from Threadless writing about bicycles is never boring.

Problem pumping air?

Do you know that most fixies (fixed gear bicycles) have presta valve tyre tube installed? However, most tyre pumps sold in the market are meant for tube with schrader valves. So, what you need to get yourself is a valve adaptor for your tube which will convert your presta into a schrader valve.

Here is a video to show you exactly what I mean.

 


 This tyre tube adaptor

is sold in my shop at

Don't leave your valve adaptor screwed on the tyre tube of your bicycle.  It can go missing on you.

The rear bike rack

I have been warned against selling roof mounted bike carrier.  So, what do I think of rear bike rack?  Let's look at how it is installed to decide.


That looks easy and what I like about it is that you can remove it from the current car and install it on another car.  How do I know?

It's because I am selling rear bike racks for carrying 3 bikes in my shop at...
