When's the last time you really felt like a badass on a bicycle? Probably when your training wheels came off around the age of six. Well, fortunately for you, bike and oversized object enthusiast Richie Tremble has figured out a way to feel that sense of wobbly danger once again: a 14.5-foot, towering beach cruiser he calls the StoopidTall Tall Bike.

Your average motorist is more used to sharing the road with other vehicles than cyclists. So instead of just relying on your arms to safely signal an upcoming turn, consider these turn signal gloves, which let both cyclists and motorists alike know where you're headed. Read More >>
Would you have thought it possible to make a bicycle from cardboard?

Bike builder Tom Donhou — the namesake behind our very own Donhou Bicycles — has a dream, and possibly a death wish. He wants to ride a pedal-powered bike up to 100 miles per hour, and he's hoping this somewhat ludicrous creation is the bicycle that will let him do it. Read More >>

Designer Jurgen Kuipers' plywood Sawyer lowrider bike is as awesome to look at as it probably is to cruise around the neighbourhood on. So much so that Kuipers has actually created a full-size, 1:1 scale model of the bike that comes packaged just like a plastic model kit. Read More >>

If dining in the great outdoors is your cup of tea, you'll love designer Jeriël Bobbe's Springtime picnic basket. Not only does it make it easy to use your bike to transport everything you'll need for a feast in the park—from plates, to cups, to food—the basket also transforms into a picnic table for two.

They're the preferred mode of transport for flannel plaided hipsters, sure, but when a fixie is crafted from carbon fibre by a company with a mastery of the material, it's downright impossible for anyone not to lust over.
