This new folding bike handlebars design claims to solve two of the biggest problems when it comes to urban cycling: storage and security.
The folded handlebars thus form a steering lock, which when the bike is lent against a wall or post it eliminates the infuriating turning of the front wheel and provides security when parked outside. Thus one can make the cycles to be slimmer by replacing the handlebars of the existing full size bike that too at a fraction of the cost and also keep the efficiency of large wheels.

This high tech digital ring, titled Vibering, was designed to help deaf people sense noises that are emitted from behind.
It is almost impossible for the hearing-impaired to detect noises behind themselves and beyond their sight. For example, they fail to take notice of a vehicle’s horn somewhere at the back or a friend’s alarming cry; this often results in an exposure of unforeseen emergencies.
Vibering consists of two rings and a wristwatch. The ring enables the bearer to feel its vibration when there are any specific noises at the rear. The noise-detective signal of the ring is set to identify precise information from the wristwatch window at the same time. [link]
