"There's more art on the Internet than in every gallery and museum on Earth," which is crazy, but believable at the same time. Check out the video down below for more information or check out their

I love stuff like this, especially because it has to do with bikes.
Andy Scullion a graphic designer from the UK has put together an illustrated family tree of the bicycle, featuring over 70 bike illustrations. Find out more information from the video below or check out their
kickstarter. Happy biking!
I haven't jumped on the wireless chargers yet, but I'm starting to see some sleek looking design that I would sport on my desk. Like the
Swich Wireless Charger ($140), which is totally different. Offering support for the Qi charging standard, it features a microsuction charging platform with a viewer-friendly angle that can rotate from vertical to horizontal, allowing you to switch the orientation on your phone. In addition, it boasts a ceramic base and platform, with a piece of American walnut cut to resemble the shape of a wave in the middle, making it something you'll be proud to have on your desk.

Wired headphones are still around and still a pain in the ass. Your constantly untangling the wires or they get caught on something and it pulls the headphones from your ears. Such a pain!
Earin Wireless Earbuds ($200) promises to do away with all of that. Marketed as the smallest, wireless earbuds available on the market. The two earbuds work together to function as one Bluetooth headphone set; no cables, no attachments just high quality audio sound thanks to balanced armature speakers.
It also comes with a compact capsule design to store your earbuds and also doubles as a charger. So not only does it make it easy to travel with but it charges automatically - so they're ready when you are.

It may be a little bit expensive, but you would definitely be the talk of the town riding around. The
Marbel Electric Skateboard ($1,199) weighing in at 9.9 lbs. and goes up to 20 MPH, 10+ mile range and a mobile App to control your board. They claim
"lighter than any electric vehicle in the world." It has enough power to go up to 20 MPH, will take you 10 real world miles per charge. It also only takes 90 minutes to fully recharge.
The deck is made from Carbon Fiber and Kevlar, and is only 30 mm thick at its widest point. Finally, the board will connect to your smartphone, allowing you to customize various features like its top speed and acceleration. Check it out on
Kickstarter and the expected delivery is in January 2015.
Tech Gadgets and Bicycles, need we say more? This is another great idea that was made into a reality via
Kickstarter and just in time for Bike Month! The
Orp is a combination of a high decibel bike horn and a beacon light. Yes, it's cute but don't let the looks fool you;
Orp means business when you press down on the wail tail, at 96 dB the
Orp demands attention.
I took Orp for a 40 mile test ride last night and I'm really impressed by it. The 2 LED lights are surprisingly bright (87 lumens each) and the friendly sound (72 dB) came in handy while cruising down crowded trails. Making the
Orp USB rechargeable was a nice touch too, carrying batteries is too much of a hassle for my minimalist ways. Tory and his team did a great job with the
Orp, this thing is Orptastic. Check them out

No more waiting to get a plug in the airport or the coffee shop. Why not use this GoPlug Bag? The

I'm not going to lie, I would totally rock one of these out in public and even show a little chest.
The Hoodsie might just be the next big thing, who knows? The Hoodsie (on
Kickstarter) is a hooded onesie, made from super-soft 100% Pima cotton. The price range is anywhere from $65-$150 for one of these hoodsie's.

Here is an invention that can change everything about your commute. It can change the various things that can strain us while riding like hills, heat and sprawling distances. A group of bike enthusiast from New York have created the
Smart Wheel by FlyKly Bikes ($550 Suggested price). This is a motorized bike wheel that fits almost any bike, instantly turning a regular old bike into an electric one.
The Smart Wheel is a pedal assist which means it helps you ride your bike effortlessly. The motor turns on when you start pedaling and begins accelerating to your desired speed. It stops when you stop. It saves you time by getting you to your destination faster and gets you there without losing your breath or breaking a sweat. This electronic rear bike wheel can take you on a 30 mph ride and last you for up to 30 miles on one charge.
We want to make cities more livable, and make them more people -- not car -- friendly, says Klansek.
It's other features are security and we all need that. You can remotely lock the motor and track it in case someone with grubby fingers wants it. It also offers a FlyKly App to control and monitor the Smart Wheel. It also offers many other features like support and social connectivity and safety. It can also charge a phone and power lights on the bike. You can even control the top speed for the wheel.
The New York-based team is currently raising funds to mass produce their invention on
Kickstarter.
As of now, $493,256 has been pledged by 1,857 backers. They’ve got 10 days remaining in the funding period and expect to need at least $100,000 more to begin mass production by spring of next year.

Our desks are where we spend a lot of time and sometimes space can be an issue with those with larger speakers. So how about some speakers that are an ideal combination of attractive design and fantastic sound as well as size. The
Timbre Speakers ($125), machined from a single piece of solid alder wood and stainless steel, they have a long-lasting construction that actually contributes to the sound. The stainless steel sheet along the front acts as the diaphragm and suspension of the speaker, thanks to an attached voice coil. This results in a full sound across the entire range that's perfect for whatever music helps you make you tackle that to-do list.

Riding with a bag is great and all, but what if it could be better? Introducing the
SEIL (Safe Enjoy Interact Light) Bag, which is a wearable signal light for cyclists. Lee Myung Su is the designer behind the SEIL Bag. It’s basically a bag with a wireless remote control that the bikers can use to display signals on the back of the bag, such as left or right signals, cruise signal, stop signal, or an emergency signal. And it's also a very fashionable bag to hold your stuff, but I'm sure you got the point by now. This concept won a Red Dot Design Award back in 2010, and now Lee is back with plans for turning it into a reality with the launch of a
Kickstarter campaign for the bag. The SEIL system is currently up for funding on
Kickstarter.
