Bontrager computer/stem integration concept, Smart Design

Smart design is starting to take hold, designers are not just staying with how things used to be done. This concept from Bontrager show us that. What could make this even better is a universal mount or just stop trying to act like you don't have one, a iPhone mount.

Can't wait to see what comes next.

Getting Clean, Merkur Vision

Shaving is a pain, razors are expensive and in my mind a waste of money. Using a straight razor can be tricky and life threatening. Then there is the Merkur Vision a butterfly safety razor built to last. Merkur's Vision adjustable razor, known to many as one of the great wonders of the shaving world, is unquestionably a crowning achievement in engineering. This state-of-the-art razor is designed with full adjustability, so that the blade angle can cater to the unique contours of your face, as well as a slight slant bar that offers a boldly close but still forgiving shave. The remarkable Vision razor is as much a work of art as it is an instrument of precision.

Bikes and Coffee, They Go Together

Ok, this is just great, what a way to use old lever's. Another I wish I would have though about that.

The Coffee Brake
A sturdy mug for sturdy folk.
Created by a world traveler who dared to ask the question:
"What good is a sturdy metal mug with a flimsy plastic handle?"

Whether you're a hardcore coffee drinker or a dabbler, this 14 oz. double-walled insulated stainless steel mug is what you're after. Non-skid bottom and snug-fitting plastic lid.

Necessity is the mother of addiction...er, invention.

North Face in the MTB Game!

Well done North Face. Style is not over the top, gear seems to be well thought out and with the years of your product being used for MTB and other sloppy stuff already, can't wait to see what a dedicated line of clothing will feel and do.

Just because the trail’s sloppy wet, doesn’t mean you have to chill indoors. Hit the singletrack with this waterproof, breathable rain jacket and stay dry on long, wet, rides. Stow-away cinch hood stashes in collar. Bike-specific chest zip vents work to cool your core without restricting arm movement. Fit accommodates armor.

On the Cheap!

Well triathlons are expensive, from the gear to the race entry fees. But you can find ways to cut conners, hey this is for fun right!

Published: Oct 22nd 2010 8:09 PM EDT by Aaron Hersh
Just getting to the starting line of a triathlon is costly. The entry fees, gym membership, bike gear, running shoes and even the basic supplies are expensive while top-of-the-line gear can cost as much as a car. But there are ways to save time on the race course without maxing out the credit card.

Cross Country Tips

Cross Country season is upon us and it is one of the best season to run. Running is one of the most overlook sports and needs to be given the respect that it deserves. Kids jump into running because it seems easy and they don't have to buy equipment, parents buy there kids sneaker, shorts and a light weight shirt and feel they have completed "their" requirements.

First off running is a cheaper sport than most but "running" shoes are what is going to keep you healthy, injury free and happy. Find a good running store that can access your running style, even give you pointers to change your style (Newton Running) has a whole section on Running Better. "To discover your best running form all you need to do is run barefoot. You'll immediately discover that when barefoot you're not landing on your heels, you're striking on your forefoot.

Striking on your forefoot is the most natural way to run, it is also the fastest and most efficient way to run. Newton Running shoes were developed to make your feet think they're barefoot and increase your performance."

Next would be the short, make sure they are lightweight and comfortable. Shorts should wick moisture away, be quick drying and complement your running style not basketball game.

Last would be the a good lightweight shirt, same principle as shorts, you might even need a long sleeve as well. To baggy and it could rub to tight and dig into the skin. Try them on make sure they feel good, keep you warm and wick the moisture away.

Last not really needed but a good hat. Blocks the sun, wicks moisture and fits.

Think Cool, Inner-Cooler Performance Wrap

COOL, is the one way to describe this device, wrap this around your neck and upper chest and well you guessed it lower body temp.

Athletes using the Inner-Cooler report better endurance, less dehydration and quicker recovery times. Just like an engine runs better, longer, and develops more power when it stays cooler, so does your body.

The Inner-Cooler Performance Wrap can be worn before during and after an event. It fits nicely under a jersey, chest protector or neck brace, is simple to use, durable and machine washable.

Not sure how much it ways but could be a good piece to wear on the bike leg or even for a portion of the run, instead of sticking sponges or even ice in your suit.

Messenger Mirror

Easy post here these are simple, light and one of the best designs to use on a bike.

MessengerMirror allows you to view things approaching from behind and increases your safety on a bicycle when cars are present. Cooked up by a cyclist who was looking for a cycling mirror and found the available products (T-a-L, 3rdi) were too expensive, had their design flaws, and all were too bulky to have in his face.

• Compact, light, affordable
• Fits thick and thin frames
• 1/2" diameter Glass mirror
• Approx length is 6.5" overall

The MessengerMirror is very compact so adjust your expectations of field-of-view accordingly. New riders, plus those familiar with other cycling mirrors, will quickly adjust and develop a method to best utilize it. It is designed to be fit on the left side of glasses but could be easily modified for right side use.
