Best City Bikes of 2014 - There have been a lot of good bikes, but only a few can be the best city bikes of 2014. Cycling trends change very quickly and with demand growing, it seems like a new niche bike brand is around the corner every week. And if a few years ago, well-known brands dominated the market and dictated trends, 2014 is proof that the baton of innovation was taken over by smaller and (yet) unknown ones. In 2014, we devoted quite a few lines to such people at City Magazine.

Sometimes I walk around the keyboard, sometimes in nature. One time I twist the heels, the other time the kitchen. I press the trigger once, the pedals a second time. And one time I play the role of a moviegoer, another time a nanny. Life offers such a wide range of things that it would be pointless to dip your brush in just a color or two, right?
True Story is, after all, a true story based on the memoirs of New York Times journalist Michael Finkel, who is portrayed by Jonah Hill in the film. It is a psychological drama that focuses on his relationship with Christian Long, the most wanted criminal on the FBI's list, who evaded arrest for many years outside the United States, passing himself off as Michael Finkle.
One of the recognizable signs of December are also Christmas-colored sweaters, which otherwise rest in the closet for a good eleven months. In happy December, sweaters of bright colors, full of patches, Christmas figures, etc. come alive. And although these are mostly fashion failures, this kind of knitwear has gained a cult status over the years. The more goofy, funny, or even ugly, the better.
Although many people think that Mars is our next stop, since it is in many ways the mirror image of Earth, NASA has been toying with the idea of life on Venus, which is also called Earth's evil twin, for some time. They developed the concept of a floating city that would grow in its atmosphere and enable permanent settlement. The project is called HAVOC.
Four-wheelers are a fixture at Lamborghini today, but when the LM002 dude SUV debuted in 1986, it was their first foray into the world of four-wheelers. Because it was a real beast (V12 engine), the title "Rambo Lambo" quickly caught on, and that was even before Sylvester Stallone came up with it. By the end of production in 1993, only a little over three hundred were built, so it is a real collector's item and one of them is going up for auction in January 2015.
Language is often an insurmountable barrier, but the popular service for free online conversations, which also offers cheaper calls to mobile and landline networks, Skype is trying to put an end to this. On computers with the Windows 8.1 operating system, she experimentally installed a universal translator (the Skype Translator application), which interprets the conversation between the two interlocutors in real time.
Exo is an excellent example of how humans turn to nature for ideas, to its models, processes and elements that help us solve human problems. The Exo iPhone case was inspired by the exoskeleton of an animal (hence the name) and discreetly protects the most sensitive and exposed parts of the phone, absorbing shocks that the case and screen would otherwise receive.
In September, Swedish programmer Markus "Notch" Persson became obscenely rich. His computer game Minecraft was bought by Microsoft for 1.93 billion. In December, however, he became the owner of a megavilla in Beverly Hills, California, which Beyoncé and Jay Z were able to view. Among the rappers, only Dr. could compete with the Swede. Dre, who, like Persson, made an outrageous fortune selling Beats by Dr Dre headphones.
Every year, many sports photos circulate around the world, because sport is one of those parts of life that gives birth to heroes, motivates us, and astonishes and shocks in equal measure. The Olympics and the World Cup in football offered just that, but since you already know these scenes, we will clear the table for the end of the year, which you may have missed, but which deserve attention just the same.
Winter hats are, in addition to gloves and scarves, an indispensable winter item. And although the primary function of this warm accessory is to keep you warm, hats can also be a fashion accessory that brightens up your winter wardrobe. Although the range of winter caps in stores is really diverse, human imagination also reaches beyond it. That's how Vikings, Batmans, Sleeping Beauty, deer, mummies, Transformers,...
Rapportive was a phenomenal extension for Gmail that gave a lot of "meat" to the contact, i.e. extra information that was displayed in the sidebar. When it was adopted by LineDIN, it lost its character and many people are still looking for it today. But it won't be like that for much longer. The start-up company FullContact has developed a new Gmail extension for Chrome, a kind of Rapportive 2.0, which provides the contact's job title, location, social profiles, photos,...
BlackBerry put itself on the world map years ago (if you count in technology years) when it introduced a phone with a physical keyboard that allowed you to send and receive emails. It was a concept of the business world, but over the years it lost its status more and more, as plastic qwerty keyboards were replaced by touch screens. Now he wants to return to the path of old glory with the BlackBerry Classic smartphone, with which he is also returning to his roots.
