What a Bright Idea: Bicycle LED Lights are Not Only Cool but Also Promote Safety


Working in what appears to be a basement somewhere in San Francisco, two biotech employees and a former NASA engineer have developed a radically new lighting system…for bicycles.

Chuck Norris Approved: Motorcyclist Cheats Death, Walks Away


We don't know if it was beginners luck, a fluke, or for those that believe in the divine, a case of the Grim Reaper turning a blind eye, but fact is the rider of this motorcycle not only cheated death more times than once in this incident, but he actually walked away from the scene without a single scratch!

Youtube user Christocrous69, who uploaded the footage on behalf of a friend, says that the motorcyclist involved in the accident was a newbie having only driven for two months.

Motorcycle Wheelie Goes Terribly Wrong – or Why You Should Always Keep a Distance from Amateur Stunts…


Random stunt displays may capture people's interest but there is a very good reason why organizers at professional events keep the crowd back at a safe distance from the performer(s).

The video you're about to watch shows a motorcyclists attempting a wheelie in what is said to be a Suzuki GSX-R when he suddenly loses control and ends up smashing the bike in the face of two by standers…
