This is called the RevoPower Wheel it turns your regular pedal powered bicycle into a Gas Powered Bicycle. It is a cheap and easy way to get about without the sweat and effort although it does defeat a big chunk of reasons for riding s abike in the first place! It consists of a 25cc two-stroke gas-powered engine and gears within the front wheel of a bicycle. This system can fit onto any 26" wheeled bike. Not bad!
This blog dedicated to cycles/bikes and the variety of uses they have around the world. Being a keen cyclist and having previously worked in a cycle shop it is only natural that my interest is reflected here.

A Bike For The Olympics?
I just like the idea of transforming the Olympic symbol into a bicycle that actually works from it, even with the right colour combination. Not too sure about whether is would compete in a an Olympic cycling discipline though.

The Naked Rider
Not quite sure why this guy isn't wearing a helmet! Well you see strange things everyday but this is a sight for sore eyes, far better if it was a naked woman rider, but then I'm a bloke!

A Bicycle Designed For Doing The Rounds
This is a bit of cycling fun found today. Doing the rounds is exactly what this bicycle does. Going nowhere fast is literally what you see here. Well group exercise is what you would get if all the saddles were filled.

Cycling Policemen
It's a nice sight to see policemen on bicycles. Police presence is all it takes to stop trouble and with a bike creates a diffusing mode. No crash helmets though, not a good example, but I'm not in favour of compulsory helmets anyway for many reasons.

A Black And White Pictured Cycling Accident
There is something about black and white photographs that add a new dimension to photographs and cycling photographs are no exception. this was taken in Zurich, Switzerland. this accident just poses the question, "Was the rider okay after going down head first?"

An Electric Powered Tricycle
This is an electric powered tricycle made by a company called Gomier. With 450 watts of power it is powerful enough for speeds up to 8 mph (limited due to tipping over) and steep hills. It gives around 8-10 miles per charge without pedalling or up to 25 with pedalling. With a price tag of around £1300 it is out of my reach. Not to sure that tricycles are good fro urban riding as they cannot weave like conventional bicycles although that is what it had in mind.

Cycle Race in San Francisco
Yet another cycle race and another spectacular picture. This one is form the USA again, namely a California roadway as the race makes its way from San Francisco to Redondo Beach. The grey background against the colourful foreground of cycles make a great contrast.

Sumo Wrestlers' Cycle Ride
This picture was found which was taken in Salt Lake City during the fourth annual Halloween "Sumo Ride". I found it most unusual and of course a most unique event not even found in Sumo's home Japan!

A Online Cycling Game
It is quite the case that mountain bikers get injured, I for one have not been able to ride from various accidents and illnesses over the years. It is a pity I didn't see this online cycling game when I was incapacitated, it looks quite fun. I forget the site where I found it, but with a search for cycling online games you can probably find it or another similar.
