This is a shot of a bike broken down into all its specific parts by photographer Todd McLellan. You know, I just recently got back into biking once again after my physician told me my constant inactivity and beer usage were turning me into a fat corpse. He keeps it genuine and never sugarcoats anything– I like that about him. Plus one he fooled me into thinking I had a significant heart disease. That, I can have done without. Actually I simply want he ‘d provide me the prescriptions that I request. I imply, I get YOU ‘RE the physician and everything, but it’s MY body. No one knows my body better than I do. It’s my own little holy place of doom. Isn’t that right, Indy? \* Indy and Short Round blow up out my ass in a runaway mine cart, Indiana Jones style blaring \* Wow, really guys?

Appeared on the jump for benefit breakdowns of a camera, oldschool alarm and typewriter.

This is a pair of deer antler bike handlebars created by Taylor Simpson. Granted there’s no brake attachment, however let’s not children ourselves, if you’ve got a pair of deer antler bike handlebars you’re a hipster and riding a fixie anyways.

Struck the jump for another shot.

Image
Anyone who’s ever done any bike riding in a big city knows that it’s one of the more harrowing experiences of modern society. So, why not protect yourself as much as humanly possible? The VisiJax electronic cycling jacket seems like a pretty solid start. The neon-colored waterproof windbreaker features some 23 LEDs worth of butt-saving protection, with white lights on the front and red on the rear. The iMASS active signaling system, meanwhile, detects when the cyclist lifts his or her arm and triggers the corresponding turn signal. The jacket runs on three AAA batteries, which should give you around 200 hours of use. You can pick one up now in the UK for £129 (or £149 after May 31st).

Video: Amazing Mini Humanoid Rides Bicycle

primer_v2_s35p

We’ve shown you robots completing various tasks in the past, but this new model, a small hobby humanoid, can ride a bicycle like a human being. It’s not the first of its kind (Murata’s robot and Panasonic’s EVOLTA robot come to mind), but the model that’s pictured on the left costs just US$ 2,220 in its standard configuration.

Dr. Guero [JP] from Japan modified KHR3HV, a bipedal robot made by Japanese maker KONDO that has been available in many robot stores for years. The humanoid can even stop for a moment and continue riding the bike on his own, which is pretty cool.

PRIMER-V2 weighs 2.5kg, stands 495mm tall and can reach a top speed of 10km/h. This video shows the robot in action:

Insert Coin: PumpTire self-inflating bicycle tire

In Insert Coin, we look at an exciting new tech project that requires funding before it can hit production. If you’d like to pitch a project, please send us a tip with “Insert Coin” as the subject line.

We love tires — they provide an infinite boost in life to the ever-so-necessary wheel, soften the blow while driving on dirt roads and over potholes, and, upon retirement, serve as an ideal plaything for our children. But there’s still something missing. As much as we try to make it not so, our tires let their air supplies trickle away — albeit at an ever so sluggish pace — ultimately causing inconvenience, and often with unfortunate timing. A slightly deflated bicycle tire won’t have the same damaging effect as, say, a battered donut that explodes as you roll down the highway, but it can still put a serious damper in your ride. The self-inflating PumpTire sets out to make sure you never have to suffer a flat bike tire again, using a unique detachable valve that senses when a tire needs to be inflated, then pumping air from a thin tube on the outside of the tire into the inner tube.

PumpTire founder Benjamin Krempel is turning to Kickstarter to fund the project, which includes designing, testing, and manufacturing a pair of self-inflating bike tires. A $ 75 pledge gets you two City Cruiser tires, a $ 130 retail value, including a pair of 65 psi valves and inner tubes. If you pledge $ 100, you’ll receive a pair of City Pro high-performance 95 psi tires, which are expected to retail for $ 150. Krempel has set his funding goal at a massively high $ 250,000 with just over five weeks remaining. A cool quarter-million is quite the lofty sum, but as always, you’ll receive a refund if the project doesn’t get the fiscal green light. Jump past the break to see it in action, and for an update on our previous Insert Coin project.

A Do-It-Yourself Bicycle Powered Snow Plow

If you live in Michigan, then you know it gets cold, and often enough; you break out either a snowblower or shovel to do the deed of clearing the driveway. Using a snowblower isn’t exactly good for the environment — no matter which way you look at it — and using a shovel isn’t exactly an efficient use of human energy. So check out this hybrid of the two: man + machine.

A man named Craig recently wrote into Makezine and shared his story of his Human-powered snow plow:

The custom 3-wheel bike with sidecar was made years ago, a replica of a bike my childhood friend had. Last winter I added a snow plow accessory. Up to 1 inch of snow doesn’t make it worthwhile to fire up my big 8HP snowthrower. And shoveling my 90′ long driveway by hand can be too much. So my bike plow makes it easy to make a few runs up and down the driveway to make 2 or 3 piles that can then be easily hand shoveled off to the side. A lever pulls up or lets down the plow with a rope and pulley. Pulling the lever all the way back cantilevers the rope and pivot point so it locks in place. The plow blade is hinged with a bungee cord, so hitting a discrepancy in the road allows the blade to flop and give like a real plow. The bike can turn on a dime so raising the plow and returning up the adjacent path is quick and easy. I can do ‘reverse’ by pushing down on the front wheel with my foot to roll it backwards.Totally useless with larger snow falls, but the light ones make snow removal fun. (yes, my neighbors do think I’m odd)
