Here is a bike that I thought about putting in Bikespiration Part 12 but I thought it needed it's own post.  This  Thonet Bike was designed by London-based architect Andy Martin and was designed using bent wood.  The reason behind the name is because Thonet's steam bending process was used to make this bike and was originally developed in the 1930's to make chairs. This bike was one of three developed but this one was chosen due to the aesthetic beauty and modest connection with the heritage of the company. The Thonet Bike will be available in limited edition and will cost you about $69,505.00 dollars. If you want to read more about the bike go to mocoloco.com

This awesome sculpture was made of resin and recycled computer keys by Babis Cloud and it sure is sweet looking. The piece is titled Hedonism(y) Trojaner, derived from the giant mythological Trojan horse.  I'm just assuming that on some level he refers this horse to the negative aspects of technology (viruses, irrational dependence on computers), but you can read a bit more explanation over on iGNANT.

I have always enjoyed Kayaking but I don't have room for it in my car and I don't want to spend money on a top rack that could mess up my car. So San Francisco-based designer Anton Willis designed the Oru Origami Kayak ($TBA). You can now take your kayak with you anywhere you go. When fully expanded, the Oru folding kayak is about 12 feet long, and weighs about 25 pounds and takes 5 minutes to assembly.

 

NPR has been kind enough to stream the new album by Flying Lotus, Until The Quiet Comes. The record is due out on October 2nd on Warp, but we are given a special opportunity to hear it first. You can preorder your record here, and as always support good music.
