Last week I posted an article about helmet covers. We got a couple of great comments on the post and I followed up with “bibliogrrl” who had commented that her helmet has horns. Sure enough, it does as this picture makes clear. Great sticker by the way too! Not only does her helmet have steeze, she is carting around flowers on her bike. Now if that does not make you feel all warm and fuzzy ...

Damn It! has an excellent walk-through on how to properly service your CrankBrothers Eggbeaters.

A follow up was using inner tubes to wrap your frame in the Ugly Your Ride initial entry, followed up by the Ugly Your Ride case study. If have inner tube hacks, send ...

I am constantly amazed by bike hackers out there. I get all excited when I think of an idea like tying an old sock to my rack so I have a rag to wipe my hands on and then there are readers like Stephen who submit hacks that involve some higher level synaptic activity. Like any good hacker Stephen gets annoyed at high priced parts and so he sent along the following. It reminds me ...

The Enterbell is just that, an Enter key doorbell. Pretty straightforward. No ess curves required to understand this one. Unfortunately, it's currently only a concept created by Li Jianye. Wait a minute -- a concept? How hard is it to glue an Enter key to a regular freaking doorbell? Not very if you don't glue your hand down your pants first (I'm typing one-handed). Seriously though, if you want an Enter doorbell, don't wait for ...
