I’ve discovered a gem of a site. I love everything about it, the fact that it looks like it was built in 1991 and never updated and could now be in the running for ‘Worst website On The Internet’, but mostly because there are interactive bike puzzles! Got some time to kill? If you’re not [...]

The Global Bicycle Race

1 Comment 09 December 2010

Ever since I picked up and read Mark Beaumont’s book, The Man Who Cycled The World, it’s opened up the world of adventure bike touring and rekindled the semi crazy ideas I’ve had of taking some time off to tour a few countries on two wheels.

The Tunebug Shake is an ultra-portable sound generator that can be connected to iPods, MP3 players or mobile phones or used wirelessly using Bluetooth®. When mounted [...]
