Are you wondering why you don't see road bikes like the fUCL in cycling races like the Tour de France? Due to the rigorous rules of the International Cycling Union (UCI), the umbrella body for the organization and classification of international cycling competitions, which also grants licenses to cyclists and adjudicates doping cases. Although the rules are set to ensure a level playing field for all cyclists, many believe they are holding back development. One such is the creative director of the Specialized brand, Robert Egger, who broke the rules with his latest concept and produced a futuristic road bike called 'Eff You See Eye', or fUCI, which frankly says (you can only guess once what it means ' f'), what does he think about the relationship.

The Viks Carbon is not another city bike for covering fast distances that will get lost in the flood of similar bikes. The Viks Carbon by Velonia Bicycles, which is the carbon version of the Viks model, is intended for everyone who is looking for the best and boldest on the market. And with a bike with a Slovenian frame made by Berk Components, they will get that. It will be available in limited quantities.
On the market, electric bicycles are growing like mushrooms after the rain, so their price is steadily falling, and their popularity is increasing. But in order to be able to talk about the "e-epidemic" of e-bikes, the price - in addition to weight, the main minus of such bikes - will have to drop a bit. Even before that, customers have a great alternative - ONwheel. A device that turns a regular bike into an e-bike in seconds. The battery and 800-watt brushless electric motor weigh just over 800 grams, which makes ONwheel kill two birds with one stone - weight and price.
For the tech-savvy cyclist, there are a number of smart bikes. Unfortunately, not all of them justify the high price, especially when you have a perfectly good bike at home. Fortunately, there is an upgrade that turns such "ordinary" wheels into a SmartHalo device. Based on simplicity and ease of use, Cyclelabs' circular device combines navigation, an alarm system, a bike light and much more.
Don't drink and drive. A rule that applies not only to drivers of motor vehicles but also to cyclists. Cycling under the influence of alcohol is also dangerous, as it weakens our perceptive abilities, slows down reactions and abilities, and causes disturbances in motor coordination and drowsiness. But since today nothing teaches us - despite considerable penalties even for cycling under the influence of alcohol - in Japan they came up with the idea of a special bike lock Alcoho-lock, the first breathalyzer bike lock in the world.
Many a city cyclist has a lot to say about bike racks. Indeed, industrial designers have been creating interesting stands for the last few years, which are becoming an indispensable part of urban furniture, but too often we get the feeling that they only thought about aesthetics, while they completely forgot about the practicality of stands. How else is one to interpret e.g. spiral racks that are a disaster in terms of usability? The same cannot be said for the Estonian design studio Keha3's stand and their refined version of the Tulip fan fan stand. Is the Tulip fan fan 2 the modern bike rack we've been waiting for?
The Bolt M-1 is still fundamentally "just" a bike. You can drive it. But the point is, you don't need one. It is an electric bike with a battery that can take you 80 kilometers on a charge, and it can "cruise" at a speed of up to 64 km/h. The high-tech bicycle with regenerative brakes is connected to a smartphone, where through a special application you can access all collected data such as speed, distance, etc., and you can also unlock it wirelessly.
Hydration is an important part of cycling and crucial on longer rides. But if you've ever looked a little deeper into a bike, then you know that every additional piece of equipment adds weight to it, which means more work for you. One such bicycle "dust collector" is a water bottle holder, which, frankly, is not excessively heavy, but any more serious cyclist will know what we are talking about. That's why there's Fabric, a bike bottle that doesn't need a rack.
The Trefecta DRT is an electric bike for geeks from the future and an attempt to get people to give up car transportation more en masse. But many people have a hard time saying goodbye to the comfort and technology they bring. The Trefecta company therefore offered them an e-bike that can hide even many cars, as it is equipped with technology that is not even found in steel horses.
Electric bicycles have experienced a real boom in recent years. How could they not, when for many they turn the previously too difficult snacks into tireless rides. Whether it's for the elderly, whether it's for people who commute to work and don't want to come to the workplace sweaty. But many do not have the privilege of going to work and errands only by bicycle, as the distances are too great. This is where A-Bike Electric comes in, the lightest folding electric bike in the world that you can easily combine with other types of transportation.
The Lesenjača is a wooden bicycle of Slovenian origin, behind which the up-and-coming Mika Kovač and his parents stand, and it was created in the family carpentry studio 4MK. The Lumberjack's journey to Kickstarter is an interesting one, as it all started in the 2nd year of high school, when Mike and the rest of the class were given an assignment to make something out of wood. Since Mike is a cyclist at heart, a wooden bicycle was the first thing that came to his mind, and his home workshop also came up with the idea. The result is worth not only a high five, but also financial support, don't you agree?
When you're on a bike, your eyes are usually on the road ahead. Which is only right. Garmin's Varia Rearview Bike Radar gives you one last pair of eyes so you can keep an eye on what's going on behind you while you're focused on what's ahead. Bike Radar is not Garmin's child, as Garmin bought iKubu a few months ago, which is a similar, but slightly less sophisticated Backtracker product offered on Kickstarter.
