Unique inventions that support cyclists

Vi vu by bicycle is not only a fun way to watch the beautiful scenery along the road and train your health but also help you escape the traffic jam in crowded urban areas. But very often cyclists also encounter many troubles such as being caught in the rain, scratched by falling and even stolen 'car driver'. 3 interesting design ideas that the Gizmag technology site has just introduced will help cyclists avoid these risks.

Yerka - Bicycle cum lock

The Yerka bicycle design project is a joint study of three mechanical engineering students from Chile - Andrés Roi, Cristóbal Cabello and Juan José Monsalve - with the aim of creating a bicycle that the chassis is responsible for. the role of a lock.

Accordingly, the frame connecting the car's neck to Yerka's pedals can be opened, allowing the user to thread the side of the car into a fixed and secure object, such as a light pole or trunk (photo). After that, users only need to withdraw the iron pipe connected to the saddle and then assemble with the other end of the side of the car to form a lock. The entire lockout process takes only 20 seconds. The idea of ​​the design team is that if the thief wants to "crack the door " , it means they break the entire chassis, making the car useless - something even the most stupid thief knows it's an act. stupid action.

Although it was the first prototype car to be launched, the group of project presidents is full of hope that their initiative will attract more supportive investors to commercialize this exciting bicycle.

Dryve - The mobile roof of a bicycle

Nobody likes being caught in the rain while riding a bike, but most of us often can't get a rain shelter right away. That's why the Swiss company Allnew recently launched Dryve - a flexible roof that can be easily removed for bicycles.

This accessory weighs about 850 grams, which can be firmly attached to the steering wheel and rear of the seat in just 30 seconds, forming an arc shape from front to back (photo). Although cyclists in front and back of the bike are almost covered in rain safely, their sides are airy so that they still feel comfortable when moving. In addition, Dryve is also designed with a 'windshield' right in front of the user to ensure the front view of them is always clearer than the remaining plastic material of the roof.

When not in use, the user can re-place the Dryve, then store it in the carrying case and place it behind the vehicle to take it along the journey. This convenient roof was introduced at the world's largest bicycle trade fair - Eurobike 2014 in Germany, but Allnew has not yet offered a specific price or time to launch it.

ITD ProTec - Anti-scratch outfit

For those who frequently ride bicycles, being scratched on certain parts of the body such as shoulders and hips is inevitable every time you fall. In order to protect these vulnerable areas, two Swiss companies - Scott Sports and Schoeller Textiles - have teamed up to develop a new line of sports apparel made from 'scratch-resistant' ITD ProTec .

Rather than weaving from traditional nylon fibers, ITD ProTec is woven from carbon fibers and reinforced with a layer of material made of countless very hard ceramic particles. According to Scott Sports, this combination creates a fabric with considerable strength and higher abrasion resistance, helping to protect the wearer's skin from being scratched by friction with the road surface when falling.
