Hidemax Cycle is a bike that is curvy and that is one of its most important selling points. Of course, the bike has many technical specifications but the idea of a sensuous and curvaceous bike is something that is not only novel but also enduring.

The bicycle’s shape itself helps it to enhance many other qualities expected of a bike such as speed, functionality, looks, comfort, resistance and durability. Adjustable height, twin shock absorbers, and a completely sexy and bump-free ride is what the Hidemax Cycle gives you.

It has been designed by acclaimed designer Servet Yuksel and is one of the best things to look forward to this fall. Bikes are not just for a good and fit lifestyle but also, they can be a style statement to many people. You would certainly not want to take a bike to the park that makes you look like a geezer. A cool and sexy bike like the Hidemax Cycle takes care of all such worries and more!

“The Bicycle Factory” is the latest innovative campaign by the world’s favourite chocolate company. It is a program cum contest open only to Canadian nationals. The program aims to build 5000 bicycles which will be sent to Africa.

And how does it plan to build them? Well, buyers of Cadbury products will help in building each part of the bicycle. One buys a chocolate, gets a UPC code and enters that code at the website and adds a part of the bicycle, thus help build bicycles. For each bicycle one needs 100 UPC codes. So the aim is to sell products that would generate 500,000 UPC codes to meet the program target. Quite an innovative way to make people buy more chocolates and make them feel good by participating in this bicycle building!

The short film about bicycle being the best and essential mode of transport in Africa is truly moving. Yes, this campaign by Hive/Toronto is a winner. One would really want Cadbury to reach the target and send those 5000 bicycles to the people in Africa and ease their daily grind and commute. Moreover one lucky participant may even win the contest and a life time trip to Africa. Cadbury sales will surely surge in next couple of months and the company will also showcase its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

Schwinn Electric Bikes need no introduction but they also exhibited their cool bikes at the CES 2009. They were showing off their Tailwind bicycle, which comes with a new battery technology from Toshiba. It can be recharged in 30 minutes and the electric motor assists a peddler to peddle faster. If you switch off the battery, it works just like a normal cycle.

The Tailwind comes with a light aluminum frame and costs $3,200. It definitely is expensive for you would actually get a car for that price. However, if you are looking for an environmentally friendly option, you could always check out the bike and shell out $3,200.

Just go ahead and wear your spandex and start biking across the country with the tailwind. If the battery runs out, you can always ride back home. Sounds pretty cool to me, what do you think?

Here is how you could get your butt warmed up while riding bicycles on a cold morning. All you would need to do is get the Iron Saddle which heats up so tha you wouldn’t be freezing your rear on a metal seat. Most cyclists usually complain of the cooling of the seat and the discomfort associated with it. Moreover unyielding metal seats are always cooler and most cyclists prefer sitting on them instead of the leather ones.

However, they always turn cold and wouldn’t provide the comfort your rear so desires. The Iron Saddle is made of clothes iron and due to the lack of steam, you would neither slip not get down with an embarrassing stain. The remarkably innovative Iron Saddle is just an upturned iron which is powered by batteries.

And no, you would need to worry about roasting yourself on the seat as it doesn’t get uncomfortably hot. I would say this is one of the more innovative designs I have come across. Perhaps you would want to contact the maker of this gadget to get the Iron Saddle installed on your cycle. I would prefer if smart alecs didn’t sneer at the idea of cycling. Get green, get healthy and ride warm.
