The Stemie<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You\u2019ve won the cycling club\u2019s senior sprint, unclipped your cleats, and done a little celebratory wiggle as you brake hard to dismount.

Well look no further \u2013 the Ivation packs enough punch<\/a> that the ominous Wagnerian tones will reach the competition long before you\u2019re on their wheel.<\/p>\n

For those of you who think that\u2019s not a particularly bizarre gadget \u2013 it also features a light and a siren. For emergencies\u2026 obviously\u2026<\/p>\n

Travel Trac Book Caddy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Drybike<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You look like an idiot cycling in the rain, so I\u2019m sure that, like me, you take an umbrella along for the ride \u2013 but it\u2019s difficult to hold the umbrella when you\u2019re cycling, making it difficult to turn the pages of the book you\u2019re reading on the Travel Trac Book Caddy.<\/p>\n

\"lead_large\"<\/p>\n

The Drybike<\/a> is a clever device that attaches your umbrella to your handlebar, freeing your other hand to reach for your banana hammock.<\/p>\n

Parrot Bebop Drone<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"screen-shot-2016-12-09-at-10-32-47\"<\/p>\n

Trevor will soon shut up when he sees you earn a KOM, eating a banana and reading a book, as Kraftwerk\u2019s Tour de France blasts from your Ivation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
