Bike bells generally look and sound a bit ugly. But why? What if they looked sexy and sounded like an angel playing a glockenspiel?  Knog, which is a bike accessories company has designed this sexy sounding bike bell.

The Oi bell's shape originates from its home - the handle bar. There are five styles. The standard aluminum model comes in 4 finishes: brushed aluminum; brass-plated; copper-plated; and black. The top of the range, "treat yourself” model is made from titanium.  If you want to find out more information check their Kickstarter.

I'm hoping it comes in more colors than pink but I got to give it to Yeongkeun Jeong who designed the Reel.  It basically transforms the main triangle of the bike frame into a spot for your belongings. The silicone stickers are attached onto the frame and the elastic band is wound up between them. Unlike common bicycle accessories, the flexibility of the band allows the user to express their style by customizing the shape of Reel.

How would you like to have a different way of securing your bike then carrying around multiple locks?  How about the concept design of this Saddle Lock.

Per the designers, "Saddle Lock provides a way to quickly lock the rear wheel without the need for additional locking accessories. The seat post swings down around the main frame when a button is pushed. The saddle features a cut-away shape that allows it to sit over the rear wheel. A combination lock allows the release of a special alloy rotating lock that extends from one end of the saddle to the other, securing its connection to the wheel."

Saddle Lock is a 2012 red dot award: design concept winner and was designed by Lee Sang Hwa, Kim Jin Ho & Yeo Min Gu.
