LightSpur enlightens your heels
Anyone who runs or cycles after the sun goes down will tell ya, it's vitally important to make sure that you're visible to motorists. Nathan's LightSpur is one of the latest products designed to provide you with that visibility, and it looks like it draws equal inspiration from Tron and A Fistful of Dollars.
The LightSpur simply clips around the heel of your shoe and grips against it. Once activated, its LED light band (which incorporates two bulbs) then illuminates to draw everyone's attention to the back of your bobbing shoe. You can switch between flashing and solid light settings.
LightSpurs are waterproof, weigh 1.2 oz (34 g) a piece, and are each powered by a replacea...
LightSpurs are waterproof, weigh 1.2 oz (34 g), and are powered by a replaceable CR2032 watch battery that should provide over 100 hours of use in flashing mode.
They sell for around US$20, although we're still waiting to hear if that's for a pair or just for one. A similar product, the Trainer LED Heel Light, is sold by Target Fitness. We spotted it in prototype form last September at the Interbike trade show.

Imprint Bicycle Grips take on the shape of the rider's hands
By Ben Coxworth

Imprint Bicycle Grips are designed to ensure a custom fit
If you've ever been thundering along on your mountain bike and suddenly had one of your hands slip off the handlebar, you'll know just how "unsettling" it can be. The guys at UK-based TMR Designs certainly know, which is why they developed Imprint Bicycle Grips. Utilizing a proprietary material, they can be custom-molded to the size and shape of each of your hands.
Depending on the model chosen, each grip consists of either a polymer or aluminum sleeve covered in the material, with a locking ring at one end and an end cap at the other.
Users start by putting the grip in hot (near-boiling) water, to loosen up the molding material. They then quickly dip it in cold water to cool off the metal components, then squeeze it in their hand to mold it. Next they return it to the cold water to set it, mount it on their handlebar, then finish by peeling off its mesh wrap – this leaves behind a grippy diamond-pattern surface texture.
According to the designers, not only should the increased contact area allow users to main...
The process can be repeated multiple times, if users want to change the shape of their grips.
According to the designers, not only should the increased contact area allow users to maintain a more secure hold of their bars, but the grips should also allow for more hand comfort by minimizing unyielding pressure points. That reduced pressure should additionally let the grips last longer, as they will wear out more evenly.
Along with mountain bikes, Imprint Bicycle Grips are intended for use on any type of bicycle with a straight handlebar. Funds are now being raised for their commercial production, on Kickstarter. A pledge of £21 (around US$35) will get you a pair of the polymer grips, while £30 ($50) will get you the aluminum version – when and if they're ready to go. The molding process is demonstrated in the pitch video below.

Bueno el culotte es corto y el maillot es de verano y sì la talla màs pequeña en existencias es la 50 y sòlo hay dos colores rojo y azul , pero no vais a encontrar allì nada mejor por èse precio.
