1kraniumhelmet 597x391 Corrugated Cardboard Helmet

A helmet made out of cardboard, I know it sounds crazy, but supposedly it works. The designer behind this wonderful invention is Designer Anirudha Surabhi has invented a helmet made out of cardboard called the Kranium.

The Kranium is not only lighter but also stronger than traditional expanded polystyrene (EPS) models.

Using a material called Dual Density Honey Comb Board or D2, the liner of the helmet has been proven to absorb up three times the amount of impact of EPS helmets. Amazing!

Bates Crates are made by hand in Michigan, by one guy, once a month. No two Bates Crates will ever look exactly the same. We think it’s perfect for enjoying summer picnic weather with your bike.

Macpherson Crate Company

Macpherson Crate Company Google Chrome 16042012 10326 PM.bmp Macpherson Crate CompanyWe love these wooden bike crates inspired by classic milk crates from Macpherson Crate Company

Based in Vancouver, Canada, Macpherson Crate Company makes  high quality and weather resistant teak crates using wood imported from a sustainable teak farm located on the island of Java in Indonesia.

Teak is well know for its durability and is most often used in outdoor furniture. It holds its shape in differing and extreme weather conditions.

Sadly we can’t import these lovely crates without a whole lot of hassle from Australian Customs and Quarantine, so we’ll just have to admire the pretty pictures.

REEL transforms your bike frame into a storage compartment using silicon stickers and an elastic band.

Great idea, though it does make the bike look like it’s coming home bandaged up from bike hospital.

bookbike by byografia 1 620x413 605x403 Bookbike by BYografia

At CycleStyle HQ we have a storage problem.

Too many bikes. Too many books.

We need Bookbike by Italian design firm BYografia. One half of the unit is shelving, the other side holds your bike with adjustable hooks. Neat!
