Posted by admin / Under Bicycle Lighting
An Arab terrorist was seriously wounded by his own knife when he tried to stab a soldier and dozens of bicyclists near Gush Etzion, all of whom escaped injury. The cyclists were riding from the Hevron Hills to Jerusalem to celebrate the 45th Jerusalem Unification Day. Soldiers escorted the bicycle event, and when the rider reached Gush Etzion, located only a few miles from Jerusalem, the terrorist took out his knife and lunged at soldiers. During the clash, his knife entered his stomach, wounding him seriously. Israel medics rushed him to Hadassah...

S.F. bicyclist involved in fatal collision discusses incident online
Posted by admin / Under Bicycle Lighting
The San Francisco bicyclist involved in a fatal collision with a San Bruno man could face criminal charges, and his flippant early account of the tragedy may not help his case in a city where bikes, cars and pedestrians must increasingly coexist. Chris Bucchere collided in a Castro crosswalk March 29 with 71-year-old Sutchi Hui, who ultimately died Wednesday at San Francisco General Hospital. In an online missive posted just hours after the crash, Bucchere expressed little remorse for his behavior. His irreverent account focused instead on his broken helmet, his own relatively minor injuries and the police seizure of...

Holy cr@p! This zombie attack bike is powered by a chainsaw
Posted by admin / Under Bicycle Lighting
Holy cr@p! This zombie attack bike is powered by a chainsaw I'm sorry, did you think I meant a chainsaw motor? I suppose that's understandable (after all, two-stroke chainsaw engines are often used to convert bicycles into rear-wheel-drive motorbikes), but I didn't say chainsaw motor, did I? I said chainsaw. Because whoever pieced together this unholy death machine has clearly left the power source attached to a number of other components. They've even opted for a FWD conversion so that the saw's guide blade and cutting chain could be front-mounted. 100% terrifying, 100% brilliant. Perfect for plowing through hordes of...

'I wasn't sure what it was when I first saw it'': Hark, a sperm bike!
Posted by admin / Under Bicycle Lighting
SEATTLE -- A new bicycle making the rounds on Seattle's streets is triggering smiles, snickers and even a few blushes. The two-wheeler is specifically designed to transport sperm samples, and it looks the part. "I wasn't sure what it was when I first saw it, and then I noticed what it was -- and I laughed," said Kim Garvelle. Custom-made and nearly 10 feet long, the design of the sperm bike resembles an oversized sperm. A hefty 120 pounds when fully-loaded, the bike is big enough to have people running to get out of the way..
