The Lumos Bicycle Helmet

THE SAFEST BICYCLE HELMET EVER

Yes, it is a Kickstarter project, but with 16 days to go it already got 3 times the funding they were looking for!

The Lumos is the ultimate bicycle helmet with brake lights and turn signals to help cyclists stay safe and visible on the road.Genius! Yes, it shouldn't be difficult or inconvenient to take care of your basic safety as a cyclist. Yet we frequently forget or misplace our lights, and drivers are often frustrated at the difficulty in both seeing and predicting where some cyclists want to go on the road.

How does it work? There is a small remote that mounts wherever it makes the most sense for your bike and riding style. The Lumos helmet will automatically pair with the remote whenever you are in close proximity to it. Lumos also comes with an integrated accelerometer. It senses when you slow down, and automatically turns all the rear lights bright solid red to signal that you are braking.

The 47 Ronin

Buell's 1125 .. reborn!

When unique American sportsbike brand Buell was shut down by Harley-Davidson back in 2009, a team of Magpul designers and engineers snapped up 47 of Buell's finest creations – the 1125 series sportsbikes. It was the birth of a very limited run of extremely sexy custom bikes, named the "47 Ronin (- "The legend of the 47 Ronin - a samurai who has lost their master through death or disgrace, would commit suicide. Those who chose to live were labelled Ronin")". Each of the 47 bikes is named after one of the 47 Ronin.

Back to the bike: Keeping the engine, frame, swingarm, belt drive and Buell's unique rim-mounted front brake disc, the rest of the Ronin is pure and super sexy custom.

The first run of 12 bikes are sold out (@US$38,000). Subsequent releases will be differently colored and more expensive, building up to the final five machines, which will be individualized factory customs.
