Ultimate Shock-absorbing for Bikes

cushioning_01

This bike might just look like it has a set of cool-looking rims, but those rims are actually an innovative shock and tire system designed to maximize performance! The tire remains firm during normal road condition. However, when it runs on hills or over rocks, the tire and spring module bend to bear the brunt of the force. This increases both the damping and traction for the tire, resulting in a smoother, safer, more controlled ride.

A Self-Warming Water Bottle

wb_00

There are plenty of variations in reusable water bottle designs, but none quite like the Solar Waterbag! The flexible, filled bag is made to unroll, flatten and be placed in the sunlight to warm the water. Why this athlete in the photo is chugging warm water while exercising remains a mystery, but it seems like a great idea for camping!
