If most detectors fail so badly when it comes to effective notification, Leeo makes them better and makes sure that your apartment does not burn to the ground, even if you are not home to notice it yourself.
There's probably still a long way to go before bicycles take the title of status symbol from cars, but the steel horses are getting a serious competitor with the Cylo bike.

The trousers will be clean again, and the laundry hooks will be back in their good old role.
