Jump Bike Running Powered Bicycle

Earlier this week we discussed the two proper ways of traveling through the eyes of a environmentalist, biking and walking, which happened to be merged into one gadget of awesomeness with the Walking Bike and its sneaker wheels. This time around, we have the yin to the Walking Bike’s yang, with the Jump Bike.

Instead of relying more on wheels and pedals, the Jump Bike focuses more on the human powered aspect, powered by the propulsion of your own running speed as you sit on the seat, peddling like the Flintstone’s. Now we have bike’s for both breeds of the confused eco-friend. (more…)

Want to look like a 8-year-old? Rollies complete the job.

Have you seen all of the little kids running around stores and then stop running, but they continue in the direction they were going at the same speed? If so, they were wearing some shoes that have rollerskate type wheels in them. Maybe you don’t have these shoes, or maybe you don’t want to pay the extra $30 for the wheel. Instead of investing in a dedicated pair of shoes for this little feature, why not just buy the Rollies? They strap onto your shoes and complete the job of the other skateshoes. They look like they use regular skate wheels, and they come with the light up wheels. You know, the ones that you children wanted for Christmas that went on their brand new Razer and made the colors of the rainbow when they were spun. Wondering how much the cost? Around $75. Please, wear these and see how long it takes for someone to realize that you aren’t a preteen but a grown adult. They will laugh. Maybe with you, but more likely they are laughing at you.
