A solid ash ‘vibration-absorbing’ cyclocross bike by Amsterdam-based designer Paul Timmer.

The bike weighs in at just 11kg, uses a more durable belt rather than a metal chain and has a split front fork and solid handlebar to preserve the grain and strength of the wood.

Behold the card to end all cards, with a catch.

Swyp is a credit card sized metal device that stores all your debit, credit, loyalty and gift cards. It’s accepted everywhere and works with a companion app to track your purchasing behaviour.

The catch, for now, is that it’s limited to cards issued in the US.

Damn.
