Bridgestone’s Airless Tires

How many times have you suffered flat tires? Yes, it's not fun this why Tokyo-based tire company Bridgestone wants to make flat tires a thing of the past with their air-free tires. Instead of air, the new tires support the rider’s weight using thermoplastic resin spokes that stretch along the inner sides of the wheel. With airless tires, you never have to worry about your tires leaking because--you knew this was coming--non-pneumatic tires have no air to leak.

All of the materials used in the airless tires can be recycled, the tires is expected to be available to the public in 2019.

The AK1 high speed electric mobility scooter is really high-tech it would really impress your friends and co-workers. It's great for traveling small distances, if you don't like to walk. It is very stylish with futuristic design. The surprising feature of this scooter is it automatically folds by itself. There's a button to automatically fold the scooter, the makers said that the idea was inspired by the movie Transformers, in which cars effortlessly change shapes.

The scooter weighs 22kg and since it can be folded to half its size, it is easy to carry with you and can fit in your car trunk with a lot of space to spare. It is powered by a 350W electric motor that can give you a maximum speed of 30Km/h not bad for a scooter that size. It is also equipped with gears that allow you to choose your riding style that matches the terrain and your riding skills.

If it's on lock mode and someone touches the scooter an alarm will go off and it will lock the motor automatically. The battery cannot be removed once the scooter is locked that makes it virtually theft-proof.

It is also equipped with a luminous LCD dashboard to give the rider information like speed, range, battery life and others. There's also a USB charging port below the dashboard. It has Bluetooth capability. The headlights is really bright so you won't have problems traveling at night.

The scooter can travel a distance of about 45KM on a fully charged battery. The battery can be easily removed, for an easy and safe charging. It has the space for two (2) batteries if you want to double the range that it can travel.

It's small, mobile, fold-able scooter what can you ask for? My only worry is how sturdy it is specially the seat since it doesn't have a post to support the weight of the rider.

World Naked Bike Ride In Kent

World Naked Bike Ride UK will held two rides in Kent this summer in Folkestone and Canterbury. The World Naked Bike Ride is yearly ride held throughout the world to give awareness to improve the safety and road condition for cyclists, and criticize the world's reliance on fossil fuels.

The naked ride in Folkestone will be held on July 1, 2017, while the date for the Canterbury ride is May 27, 2017. This will be the 6th naked ride in Canterbury while fourth in Folkestone.

Organisers for the Canterbury ride said: "Sadly, too many cyclists are injured or killed in road traffic collisions across the UK every day. Kent, and the Canterbury area are, regrettably, included in this grim statistic.

"The most common excuse given by motorists who have just killed a cyclist is "I didn't see them". Strangely, the WNBRs across the world have proved that naked cyclists ARE seen and not ignored."

"Nudity is permitted as part of the demonstration to emphasize the vulnerability of the human body when faced with the everyday dangers of cycling on the UK roads.

"Nudity is not compulsory - all WNBRs ask participants to ride "as bare as you dare" and many use body paint to decorate themselves or to paint appropriate slogans on their body."

Buzzfeed Blogger Jane Seo Caught Cheating in Fort Lauderdale Half Marathon

Buzzfeed and HuffingtonPost Food and lifestyle blogger Jane Seo finished second-place in the Fort Lauderdale A1A Half Marathon last weekend with a time of 1 hour 21 minutes. She hit 6:15-per-mile pace. She was seen parading around the finish line grinning and gripping with her medal.

Unfortunately, for her a part-time marathon watchdog blogger Derek Murphy was on her and busted her for cheating, she cut 1.5 miles off her course while securing her 1:21:46 finish. Not only did she cut the course, she covered her tracks on a bike later that afternoon to throw off her GPS tracker.

http://www.marathoninvestigation.com/2017/02/runner-disqualified-after-claiming-2nd.html

Seo has now been disqualified for cutting the course, after being busted. You can find a long post on marathoninvestigation.com detailing her lies. She later posted a four-paragraph apology to her 34,400 Instagram followers.

“I made a HORRIBLE choice .. what an idiot I was!” she wrote in a post that's since been taken down. “I am extremely ashamed … I am so sorry everyone.”

Derek Murphy even showed photos taken right after the race, in which Seo watch displayed a covered distance of 11.65 miles, the course was a full two miles longer. When he checked her mile splits, he found that she ran the first 10 kilometers at a pace of 7:09 per mile; her speed increased on the back half, lowering her minute-mile pace to 5:25 on the back 11 kilometers.

Murphy then discovered that she had manually entered her splits on Strava (a website for runners looking to track their runs via GPS and post their maps and times) directly after the race. Seo went back and made another entry the same afternoon, this one linked to GPS, showing that she had run the entire course. However, upon reviewing her pace and heart rate, Murphy saw that her cadence better matched that of a bike rider than a runner.

How To Buy A Used Bike?

If you're short on cash and wanted to buy a great bike then the only option is to buy used bikes. Unfortunately, in the second hand market there are a lot of bikes that needs fixing so instead of saving money you'll end up shelling out more. Check out the video above as ex-Professional cyclist Simon Richardson discuss what to look out for when buying a second hand bike.

He also said to have a check list of the following components:

Frame & Forks - this is the most valuable part of the bike. It should not be bent, cracked, or dented. It should not be rusted, look for bubbling in the paint it a sign of corrosion. If it's a carbon bike watch out for those cracks.

Headset - check if it has a loose headset by squeezing the breaks then rock the bike backwards and forwards, if you hear a knocking noise then it may have a loose headset. It's easy to fix and cheap to replace but it's a sign that the owner didn't maintain it very well.

Wheels - make sure that it runs straight by spinning it. Check spoke tensions, they should be tight. Check out the rim breaking surface, it should be flat if it's concave then it may suggest that it is already worn out. This could be really expensive to replace.  

Wheel Bearings - grab the tires the move the wheel from side to side if there are any play and knocking it may suggest that the wheel bearings are worn out.

Tyres - inspect the tires, watch out for cuts and holes.

Driverain - check out for worn out chains, chainrings, and cassette.    

Derailleurs - check by changing gears also check for the gear cables.

Cranks - move side to side, if there's a play then it may be worn out.

Brakes - squeeze the calipers it should move easily and should spring back easily.
