A bicycle-towed electric street sweeper may soon be clearing gravel, broken glass, bits of metal and other debris off a bike lane near you. Known as the Bike Lane Sweeper, the device is being trialled at multiple locations in Canada and the US.

The Toaster is claimed to be the world's most portable bike rack and from the looks of things, that may very well be the case. It folds flat when not in use, and can accommodate up to five bikes of almost any wheel size.

The Aerohead II is definitely one of the strangest-looking bike helmets ever made. It should be right at home in the world of time trial racing, however, where aerodynamics are king and style just doesn't matter.
-
While there's enough room to carry two or more bikes in the cargo area of most minivans (with the back seats removed), there's typically nothing to keep them securely in place. The Slide&Go system is designed to help, by providing floor-mounted wheel-attachment points.

At the end of a long trail ride, most people likely aren't too thrilled at the prospect of hoisting their bike up onto a conventional vehicle-back rack. That's where the Load 'n' Lift comes in, as it motorizes the job.

Brompton has added a new 12-speed option to models in its range, which employs both an internal geared hub and an external derailleur to offer bikers "more gears and more range while still fitting into our compact solution to life on two wheels."

While it's always important to accommodate bicycle commuters, bike parking spots on trains can't seat non-cyclists when not in use. An experimental setup currently being trialled in Switzerland, however, may soon change that.

While cycling jackets provide much-needed warmth at the start of cool-weather rides, they can be hard to store once you warm up and take them off. That's where Stash System jackets come in, as they can be packed down and mounted right on your bike.

As 2023 draws to a close, it's time once again for our annual look back at some of the year's most interesting bicycle-related innovations. Not all of these things will be big sellers, but they definitely all deserve credit for following the road – or trail – less cycled.

You can do a lot of things with the Tesla Cybertruck, but you can't tow it behind your ebike to sleep in on "bike-packing" trips. You can, however, do exactly that with the Cybertruck-inspired Cyberdrop trailer.

Loading your bike with heavy bottles of water is a drag, but what else can you do on long rides? Especially if you don't use a hydration pack? Well, the Extract Water Filter lets you fill your bottle with water that you find along the way.

Although collision warning systems have become quite common on cars, we definitely don't see them much on ebikes or mopeds. That will soon change, though, when the AI-based Roadio system is rolled out next year.
