Both in my role as Bike Product Manager at Galaxus and in my private life as a passionate cyclist, I am always on the lookout for unusual and innovative products in the cycling sector. Here I have put together 10 unusual gadgets for you.
Rank 1, The Veloradar
This innovative bike light is the world's first radar system for bicycles that warns you of vehicles approaching from behind - from a distance of up to 140 metres! So you can cycle safely from A to B even in the dark. The set also includes the Varia radar rear light. The intensity of this rear light is automatically increased the closer an approaching vehicle gets. This warns the car driver that there is a cyclist in front of them.
Rank 2, the flashing seat post
This seatpost is a must-have for every cycling enthusiast! The five very bright LED lights integrated into the seatpost replace the conventional external rear light and are guaranteed to attract attention.
Rank 3, The bike helmet on your neck
This invisible bike helmet not only spares your hair, it also protects your head in the event of an accident. It is worn around the neck like a scarf and contains an airbag that can only be seen and opens if you have an accident
Rank 4, the invisible bike tool
The bike tool can be stowed almost invisibly in the handlebars, but is still quickly to hand when needed. It is suitable for all multispeed and 11-speed chains and also offers a compartment for chain rivet pins, a chain hook and a 4 mm Allen key for easy operation.
Rank 5, The bike pump with power
The ultimate solution for mounting stubborn tubeless tyres, the JoeBlow Booster combines the functions of an air compressor with the mobility of a floor pump.
Rank 6, The bike lock in the saddle
The cable lock is hidden in the seat post and can be pulled out in just a few seconds if required. This saves you the hassle of carrying a bike lock with you and means you always have it to hand .
Rank 7, the glowing magnet
This stylish bike light does not require a special holder as it is attached to the steel frame using strong magnets. The light starts to illuminate as soon as it comes into contact with the frame. The front and rear lights can be attached and removed quickly and taken anywhere.
Rank 8, the feather-light bicycle tube
With the support of the chemical company BASF, the tyre manufacturer Schwalbe was able to drastically reduce the weight of the inner tube. The 27.5-inch thermoplastic inner tube weighs just 72 grams and is also said to hold its air for a very long time.
Rank 9, the cool cycling trousers
The "Twyce Cooling Zone" reinforces the cooling of the proven "3D-BionicSphere System" on the chest and back. By combining water-absorbing and water-repellent yarns, sweat is further distributed around the system.
Rank 10, the all-round bike grip
This Velo grip is designed so that it can be changed to two different lengths by removing rings and using the two-part grip shell. By combining the natural properties of cork with soft thermoplastic rubber, this Velo grip gives you increased comfort.
