Repair. In the olden days, one would have an idea and would get really excited about it, and yet there would be no easy way to share it so the idea would remain just that - an idea.

Then the Internet came along and gave birth to Kickstarter. I'm not so sure if Kickstarter coming along was a good thing or a bad thing. It can be good to share ideas, but I swear not a day seems to pass when I don't get an email for a bike related Kickstarter campaign. It's almost become like spam.

Every now and then I do open the Kickstarter emails and think the idea is actually an interesting one. Smart phones are pretty much here to stay and the idea behind this is a case that attaches to your phone which can hold useful items - like bike tools.

Winter Cycling

The vast majority of cyclists hang up their steeds as soon as it turns cold enough that shorts are uncomfortably cool.
