Horns anyone?
Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010Take photos while you ride
Monday, May 31st, 2010
We are always on the hunt for stylish cyclists but often miss the opportunity to take their photo as they zoom past while we fumble around getting our camera out.
We may have found the solution now – the Electra Camera Mount from Electra Bicycle Company. Basically, it attaches to your handlebars and allows you to take photos and shoot video while cycling. Here’s a Facebook video testing out the mount on a rugged mountain trail.
It fits any standard handlebar and costs only US$39.95. We’re putting one in our virtual shopping cart now.
I (Heart) My Bike
Thursday, May 27th, 2010
I dropped my bike a little too roughly yesterday and now I have no bike bell.
Never mind. I think I might replace it with this bell instead. A declaration of love, loud and clear.
I’ve now tracked them down and a shipment will be arriving very soon at CycleStyle HQ!
Ingenious Guitar Bag
Friday, May 21st, 2010Over at Portland, Oregon-based North St Bags, owner/designer Curtis has just finished up making a padded guitar bag – with handy beer pockets.
Curtis is currently taking custom orders for the perfect gift for the muso in your life – just email him at curtis@northstbags.com. Not sure whether he’s shipping to Australia, but always worth asking!

E.T. phone home

Do you remember the scene in E.T. where Elliot is trying to take E.T. to the forest so that he can call home? And E.T. is snuggly wrapped up in Elliot’s bike basket, and then… E.T. makes Elliot’s bike fly?! And we see the silhouette of Elliot and E.T. fly across the front of the moon?
We’ve always dreamed of riding a flying bike. Do you think that maybe E.T. came back to visit earth and helped to style this awesome photo shoot for Freitag?
We bet that there’ s a mobile phone in that Freitag messenger bag and so E.T would have no problem calling home.
Worldwide bike registration with MyBikeNumber.com
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010
Did you know that your local police station will engrave a bike identification number for you for free?
The issue is that this is only effective on a local level for tracing lost or stolen bikes. Now there’s MyBikeNumber, a free online service that lets you register your bicycle and components, or search for them worldwide. It has three major benefits:
1. As a bike-owner, you can register your bike on the site using the frame number and add photos to the profile page to help visually identify you bike. Registered bikes are allocated a unique QR code (mobile readable code) which can be printed as a sticker for the frame.
2. As a bike retailer, you can register your entire inventory under a single “dealer code”. Registered cycles can be reported as stolen or lost, or recorded as sold to a new owner, through the site.
3. As a prospective bike purchaser, you can visit the site and check the unique identifiers to ensure that the bicycle you want to buy is not stolen. If it is, a message can be sent securely through the site to inform the rightful owner.
We think MyBikeNumber is pretty innovative and if we ever start selling bikes we’ll be right in there. In the meantime, we’ve registered our (rather battered) bikes on the site.
