Planet Bike – Blinky Super Flash Turbo

MalleT — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 10:00:15 +0000

Another “Safety First” post.
I found the review of this tail light at the Urban Velo blog. It’s an update version of the old Planet Bike Super Flash, and according to UV, it’s a tail light worth it’s money. I don’t know if they can beat the old school HEMA lights, but their review is good…

Surly Troll

We’ve been telling you fixed gear mountain biking is gonna be big! So big that Surly even made a 26″ full 4130 chromoly fixed gear mountain bike frame, called the Troll.
You can run it with cantilever or disc brakes, or go breakless if you want. There are even holes for mounting racks or fenders…

Personally I think it’s VERY ugly, but it’s cool to see there are fixed gear mountain bike frames being build, even if they’re 26″…

Found it at the Surly website through Urban Velo.

Found a nice English site “Lock your Bike” with lots of usefull reviews of different bike locks and advice about how to lock your bike properly.
If people used their brains and locks, we wouldn’t need out Stolen Bike Alert category…

Found it through Urban Velo.
