Cycling

Using a U-lock can be a hassle, as you have to pull it out of your bag, take it apart, then run its shackle through the bike's frame. The bike-mounted V-160 offers a simpler approach, in that you just push it head-first into whatever's at hand.

The vabsRider bicycle saddle features a unique design, in which the two sides of it pivot in time with your pedaling. It's now even comfier... or at least, so its designers tell us.

Tubeless mountain bike tires certainly improve on their conventional counterparts, but could they perform even better? The OPTIS insert is claimed to help them do so, by serving as an inflatable alternative to foam-bodied tubeless tire inserts.

Many cyclists are riding blind and risking serious injury, with more than than one in 10 having experienced an accident that they found was due to a structural failure undetected in the bike. Researchers are calling for more stringent testing of bikes.

Folding bicycle helmets are nothing new, nor are electronically-augmented "smart" helmets. The Woolf, however, is claimed to be the first product to combine the best aspects of both helmet types in one wearable device.

So, you went and bought a mechanical dropper seatpost for your MTB, only to discover that smoother, faster electronic posts are now "a thing." Well, don't despair, as the OnlyMotion system is designed to make your existing dropper seatpost electric.

This little piece of riding gear is a full-fledged smart hydration pack that tells you when you're thirsty while out riding and it goes so far as to squirt the water right into your mouth.

If your bike has Presta valves on its rims or tubes, you'll know that pumping the tires can be a fiddly business. The Zilch floor pump is claimed to address that problem, with head seals that don't even touch the valve stem until it locks on.

Sure, electric cargo bikes may indeed be very useful, but they're also pretty darn long and heavy as compared to regular commuter bikes. That's where the Frolic comes in, as it can be quickly converted from the one to the other.

Your car has all its controls built into its dashboard, so why doesn't your bike have all its gadgets integrated into its handlebar? Well, that's exactly the approach taken by the sleek Flitedeck bar, which features a touchscreen, headlight and more.

If you're a mountain biker, chances are you don't like being whacked in the shins by pedal pins, nor are you fond of slipping when walking on wet ground. That's where iNVRS Pedals system comes in, as it moves the pins from the pedals to the shoes.

Online multiplayer cycling platforms can be a lot of fun, but that fun is definitely diminished if you can't keep up with the other riders. That's where the Smash Your Fitness system comes in, as it prioritizes cycling skill over muscle strength.
