Levi Continues to Roll

LeviEarlier this year we noted that Levi had introduced jeans – the Levi 511 Commuter versions – that were made for cycling. The apparel maker continues to roll out new products for cycling in its “Commuter” line, which feature performance fabric and functional details. These include the 511 jeans, t-shirts (including the two above), as well as jackets, shorts, and pants.

Building a Better Bike Light

What’s the one thing that comes standard on a bike? Reflectors. Yet many of us remove reflectors to shave weight, reduce drag and remove encumbrance. You can add a light to your bike. But we’re waiting for a better solution that effectively lights the road, alerts traffic to our presence and has a decent battery life.

Revolights might be our solution. This Kickstarter project is a set of front and rear lights installed on the bike’s rims. When turned on, the LED lights glow white in the front and red in the back. The lights are coordinated to your speed, so while they flash, the lights are in sync with the ride and serve their purpose of making you visible, and lighting the road ahead.
