LA-based comedy magician Eric Buss demonstrates his satisfying and want-inducing combination bubble wrap dispenser and popper.

Yes, it does need a fatter wheel.

bike 03-42-07Previously spotted in a state of casual lockedness on Sunday outside Grogan’s on South William Street, this bike appeared again – properly secured this time – outside the Beggar’s Bush pub in Dublin 4 yesterday evening accessorised with a one-of-a-kind prototype Securispeed Couriers satchel.

If you happen to be in the cycle courier game, you’ll appreciate the near pornographic significance of such a rare artefact.

If not, carry on as if you’d never seen any of this.

I was involved in an incident last night on Mercer Street in Dublin 2. A group of kids had tied rope from pole to pole across the road targeting cars and cyclists. I was cycling past and my neck got caught in the rope causing me to fly off my bike and hit the ground. Luckily I haven’t broken any bones, and have come away with light injuries (above and below) but someone else may not be so lucky. I just want to warn other cyclists and the public that this is happening as I haven’t heard of it before in Dublin.

The XploreAir Paravelo is a collapsible bike that docks with a flexible para-wing and a biofuel fan which its inventors John Foden and Yannick Read – currently funding further development on Kickstarter – claim to be the ‘world’s first flying bike’.

Or, you know, paraglider with pedals.
