Race to test new cycle safety technology
The dangers faced daily by London cyclists hit the headlines last month when six were killed in 13 days, prompting protests and even calls for lorries to be banned from the streets during rush hour. But away from the furore a number of British technology firms have been racing to perfect safety systems that it is hoped can save lives. Cycling deaths hit a five-year high in 2012, with 118 cyclists killed on British roads, and safety standards in the capital are coming under particular scrutiny.

This Is a Bicycle Escalator
Bike riding is very popular in Norway, especially in the city of Trondheim. But there's a steep hill in that city called the Brubakken that most bicyclists won't try to climb. It's just too steep. So in 1993, the city built a bicycle escalator. It recently upgraded the escalator into the one you see pictured here. It's a lift that moves at about 3.4 miles per hour up a 427-foot hill with a gradient of about 10-18º.

A Slick New Bike With Buzzing Handlebars That Give You Directions
Urban biking is a totally different beast than peddling around suburban trails. And yet, most of us ride the same exact bike in both situations. That’s fine—whatever two-wheeler gets you from point A to B is good in my book—but the fact remains, biking in a city requires a different set of transportation tools.

Bicycling magazine provides a special online version of Senseless, an in-depth look at the state of bicycling helmet technology
Bicycle helmets do an outstanding job of keeping our skulls intact in a major crash. But they do almost nothing to prevent concussions and other significant brain injuries—and the very government agency created to protect us is part of the problem. The time has come to demand something safer.

Video of man on a 207-mph bicycle humiliates Ferrari at dragstrip
Which is the more amazing feat: Switzerland's Francois Gissy leaving a Ferrari 430 Scuderia sitting still at the dragstrip as he recorded 3.1gs of inline acceleration on his way to a top speed of 207 mph, or that he did this on a BICYCLE? That bicycle, incidentally, was equipped with a rocket engine supplying 4.2 kN (944 pounds) of thrust.
