Hasta La Gadget!

Ride a bike, slice a pizza. You won’t be able to do this on a regular bike, but you will be able to do so using one of these clever bicycle wheel pizza cutters. Your fingers will be the ones doing the riding though, unless you’re the size of Alice after she drank the potion from the bottle with the “Drink Me” label.

There’s a black and yellow version for guys, and a light blue and pink version for girls. Or, you know, vice versa, considering how everyone’s just mixing things up these days and I’m finding more girls like black instead of pink.

Each bicycle pizza cutter features double sharp cut discs. In short, the wheels are the ones that are doing all of the cutting.

The Fixie Pizza Cutter is available from Doiy Design for €17.95 (~$25 USD).

So this is AeYo, and it’s a rollerblade-scooter-bicycle hybrid that offers you an alternative mode of transportation, aside from the usual bike, trike, or scooter.

If you look at how it works, then you’ll see it’s more like a tethered pair of roller skates than anything else. The added handles provided additional balance so you can push forward and go faster with ease. There’s also an optional basket attachment so you can carry groceries and other items.

Aside from letting you go places faster, it also gives you a bit of a workout in the process. According to its makers “The AeYO exercises your fitness, coordination and strength. It is recommended by leading orthopaedists and athletes for its efficiency in therapy and workout.”

It’s pricey though, as the AeYo comes with a €449 (~$610 USD) price tag. It’s available in six colors (red, blue, green, white, gray, black) and two sizes.

Do you remember some of the weirder names when it comes to far older modes of two-wheeled transportation such as the penny farthing? Well, the unicycle has not exactly been the most popular mode to get around in the past, where it more or less remained within the domain of the circus, but here we are with the RYNO Cycle which could very well change one’s perception on this transportation option.

Imagine yourself stuck in traffic. Imagine listening to some Top 40 radio station playing the same 4 songs over and over and wondering about the things you would do if you didn’t have to commute. Imagine your brain numb. And then imagine seeing some psycho bike rider pull off some bike tricks off of a half-pipe on top of a moving truck. In the middle of traffic. That would be fun for everyone.

Because riding a bicycle down a steep mountain road after it just rained isn’t crazy enough, Eskil Ronningsbakken wanted to up the crazy by doing the whole ride backwards. So yes, he was balancing himself, steering, braking, making sharp turns, veering away from cars and zooming down the mountain while facing the completely opposite direction on a wet freaking road.
