Good – Tax breaks for people who bike to work.
Silly/Moronic – The tax break goes to the company. The company decides if and how to pass it on.
I suppose the idea is that with the tax break, companies will be incentivized to provide better facilities or other benefits to bike commuters, but there is no [...]

Seeing lot’s of cool bike related ideas lately.
This guy outlines a way to use reflective tape to make your entire bike reflective, without looking horrible.  i think this could be cool for all kind of applications, not just bike.  I used to paddle my sea kayak at night all the time, and things like this [...]

Cool rack for storing 5 bikes.  only $25, and free standing, so great for places where permanant mounts would be frowned upon.
$25 Rack stores five bicycles!

I’ve always thought the Audi TT was good looking car, and since sports cars tend to favor low weight, and low weight is good for fuel efficiency, it makes some sense to combine the two. If you rarely use a big car or luggage space, or as a second car, why not get a [...]

As a kayaker and climber, I often find myself sleeping in the back of my car on weekend trips. No need for a big RV, but a simple, small camper would be neat. In Europe, these things exist, and I like them a lot. RomaHome has just announced a new [...]

A Nevada bike maker is working on building bikes made with Bamboo frames.
I want one.  Bamboo is one of the more sustainable materials out there.    Bicycles are very low impact.  Combine the two, and it’s a winner of an idea.

I like small cars, but have been unimpressed by the smart car.   2 seats just aren’t pratical for most people. 
But the Toyota IQ looks interesting.  Toyota should brand it a Scion and bring it here.

Cool article, attempting to answer the question:
“ If the electricity used to charge up an electric car is created by burning fossil fuels, is it better to stick with a gas-powered car with good fuel economy?”

I think I competed against these guys in the California Clean Tech Open.  Clearly they are doing well!

As a long time sailor, I find this really a cool idea.   But if kites are 5 times more effiecient than sails, why don’t we see them on recreational sail boats?   Can a boat like this tack, or [...]

Based on the Honda Fit (which my wife and I own and love), the new Honda Hybrid, at $18K, looks to be a winner.   High fuel efficency, Honda reliability, and affordable. My guess, good luck finding one at MSRP.   When we bought our Fit, many dealers were asking $2-4K over MSRP.   Took a lot of [...]
