The Klunkus

The 2013 NAHBS mountain bike category winner, affectionately referred to
as the Klunkus, was commissioned by Vancouver shop owner Darren McKay.
The original 29+ bike, the Surly Krampus, had been out for a few months
at the time and having sold a few, Darren decided he wanted to build his
own custom around Surly’s 3″ tires and 50mm rims.

Shyspy Bike Theft Solution

"I have seen how the fear of theft
causes many people to stop riding their bikes as a mean of transport,"
Saleh told Business Insider via email. "I even know people who uglify
their bike in order to reduce the risk of bike crime. That's basically
the inspiration and the reason why I started this project."

Shyspy has an integrated motion detector that alerts you of any
movement. So if someone is trying to tamper with your bike, you'll
receive a notification on your phone. Through the Shyspy app, you can
constantly keep tabs on your bike.

Finally! SI gets one right!

Man cured of erection that lasted seven weeks in Dublin hospital / Sunday World

He had a stretch of hard luck...

After five weeks trying to cope with the embarrassing injury he attended the Adelaide and Meath Hospital in Tallaght.
Urologists there got to work on the issue by inserting catheters and platinum coils into the man’s appendage, and by applying pressure dressings.
The injured man finally enjoyed relief as the blood stopped flowing to his penis, and has reported no further issues while enjoying intercourse.

It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.

Whenever I see an adult on a bicycle, I have hope for the human race. ~ H.G. Wells

Until mountain biking came along, the bike scene was ruled by a small elite cadre of people who seemed allergic to enthusiasm. ~Jacquie Phelan

Bicycling is the nearest approximation I know to the flight of birds. The airplane simply carries a man on its back like an obedient Pegasus; it gives him no wings of his own. ~Louis J. Helle

"It is no longer a beast of steel,
no it is a friend it is a faithful
and powerful ally against one's worst
enemies. It is stronger than anxiety,
stronger than sadness. It has all the
power of hope." ~  Maurice Leblanc
