Bikelogger

The Bikelogger is both a navigation and a theft tracker in one! The Bikelogger is a dynamo-powered device that fits into the steering tube of your front fork and tracks the speed and distance ridden. This doesn’t even require your phone to be nearby. You connect the tracker to your dynamo, so there is no battery involved. Via your phone, you can then view speed, cadence, temperature, travel time and travel distance. The second additional advantage of the Bikelogger is that it provides an anti-theft alert on your phone the moment someone tries to make off with your bike.

Other handy gadgets for cycling

Vittoria Air-liner

Remember when you didn’t have a swimming certificate but still wanted to go and play in the pool. You would be given swimming straps that your mother had to inflate for you so you couldn’t drown, or you would be given those colourful trunks, pool noodles or flexibeams. What Vittoria has come up with for the tubeless mountain bike tyre is suspiciously similar to this. Namely, air-liners are made of specially developed foam that can move with you on rough terrain while still being hard enough to keep the tyre in place. This allows you to ride at a lower tyre pressure for more comfort, and Vittoria also claims to increase the grip of your tyres. Plus, if you get a puncture, you can just get home with this trunk in your tubeless tyre. The downside? The big advantage of tubeless tyres, which is the disappearance of the need for an inner tube, still seems to have disappeared with this. Furthermore, we are very curious to see where these developments lead!

Presso XI

Surely this is genius. Fresh and above all hot coffee everywhere you go on your bike! Thanks to the rechargeable battery with USB-C, you can use the heating element to make a fresh cup of coffee wherever you go. Its handy and portable size also makes it easy to take with you on your bike! Ideal if you go bikepacking or to remote places without good cafés, for instance. Because say it yourself, during a bike ride you just have to have good coffee, right?
