And today you’re in luck because you can join the club tonight for free all over San Francisco just by showing up at one of five locations. Click on the handy ...

Sure, it won't stabilize itself, it doesn't sport a cute wicker basket, and it has a five figure price tag, but the 2009 Optibike OB1 is on sale now -- and if you're a typical Engadget reader, you're probably considering four or five of them for you and your family. Designed by award winning bike designer Jim Turner, this lithium-ion battery-powered hybrid features a GPS, fully integrated PDA (to keep track of the vehicle's performance), ...

Looking for an electric bike that does the pedaling for you? You have plenty of choices, particularly if you're willing to drop over $2,000, but finding one that uses regenerative braking to extend the life of its meager on-board batteries isn't so easy. Panasonic's Vivi RX10S is about your only choice until February, when Sanyo's new eneloop-branded bike is set to start pulling weak (or just lazy) Japanese riders up up inclines before recharging itself ...

Once again, someone has taken absurd and dangerous bicycle design to another preposterous level. Thankfully, the See Saw bike is only in the prototype phase because if you didn't flat out crash and burn trying to ride it (with someone of equal weight), you would surely go brain dead repeatedly head-butting your partner.

Every year, as it gets cold, many of us put our faithful two wheeled companion away for the winter. Despite that, there have been a veritable smorgasbord of bicycle related projects posted to instructables this last week. In honor of our human powered transportation, lets take a peak at a few projects. Bicycle safety is always paramount. They can be fairly difficult to see compared to a car. There are many ways to make them ...

Putting chains on your tires is illegal just about everywhere but rural American because of the damage snow chains can do to paved roads. No such restriction exists for bicycles, nor will you likely find a bike with enough weight to do any damage with chains on the tires! If you're braving a commute or keeping up a fitness routine via bicycle this winter, there is an excellent tutorial at cycling enthusiast blog Mountain Bike ...

Jamila B. is a forthcoming R&B/Pop singer from Canada (other R&B talent from Canada consist of Tamia, Deborah Cox and Kesha Chante). The singer has a new song called ‘Angel’ and it was produced by her Australian producer, David Madden: The singer was also an opening act for Choclair and The Clipse. I think her vocals are really good. I can chill to the song as well. It’s catchy. Post your thoughts. You can hear ...

Filed under: Portables, Macbook Pro, MacBookHere's a curious thing. Gearlog is reporting that in testing a MacBook Pro, they found substantially lower performance while running on AC power alone, with the battery removed. Apparently, Apple doesn't hide this quirk; there's a Support Document claiming that this is done to prevent "the computer from shutting down if it demands more power than the A/C adapter alone can provide." On their new unibody MacBook Pro, Gearlog noted ...

Like Arrington, I noticed Google SearchWiki Vanishes but I was able to get it back via Google Experiment - it’s one of the 4 experiments you can activate. I went back and turned Google Search Wiki back on - but, I am wondering, as a Google Experiment, how many searchers will bother to use it. The point being, if there’s wide usage, the Google Search Wiki will accumulate a lot of information quickly - but ...

Electric bikes normally don’t come in great outfits. But then there isn’t anything that comes as a better alternative to commute in the increasing economic depression. So, isn’t the beauty worth compromising for? If green is the new way to hit the road? Then, with the innovative electric bike, Gocycle - designed “as clean, sustainable, cost-effective city specific transportation” - you needn’t have to compromise on looks either. Gocycle, comes with adjustable seat and handlebars, ...

Rémon Sinnema ... I must say, I’m pretty impressed by the ease of development GWT offers. I’ve used it at work on a project that I probably couldn’t have done without it, given my poor JavaScript skills. Especially the fact that you don’t have to worry about whether your code works in all browsers is great. Performance tuning a GWT application

Mark Boulton has (finally!) announced a release date for his long-awaited book abut web design: A Practical Guide to Designing for the Web : Feb 2nd 2009. The good news is that, for the impatient, a sample PDF is available. As you'd expect, it's looking very nice.

Following their earlier test (which incidentally hit the nail on its head), London Transportation Authority has come out with another nice video… Watch and re-watch to find out what you missed. Direct Link: http://blog.guerr... As the caption says, it is easy to miss what you are not looking for. This is true for all road users, motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

Χτες βγαίνοντας από μία βαρετή ταινία του Φεστιβάλ Κινηματογράφου Θεσσαλονίκης πέσαμε πάνω στα μέλη του Bike Respect, που έκαναν ποδήλατο χωρίς να κουνιούνται απ'τη θέση τους, παρακολουθώντας ταυτόχρονα την προβολή μιας ταινίας! (πηγή: http://cyclecinem...) Τα παιδιά που ήταν εκεί προσέγγιζαν όποιον πλησίαζε το χώρο και τον παρότρυναν να κάνει κι αυτός λίγο ποδήλατο-έστω και για 5 λεπτά-για να ξεκουράσει τους προηγούμενους. Φυσικά δεν έχασα την ευκαιρία και έκανα κανά τεταρτάκι (τα έφτυσα λίγο για να ...Contribute comment
