This may have made me cry. Just a tiny bit.

Fierce gear for the road cyclist constantly competing with cars. Canedo Studio has designed a bike helmet inspired by Gladiator, combining ventilation and head and eye protection with the ferociousness of a warrior. Fuckin’ a. The “Gladiat8r concept.”

A warrior needs a sword. It’s tough to carry around a lance on a bicycle, and these handlebar plugs fill the void.

Designed by Matt Braun and Jared Delorenzo of the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, these are helpful for getting back at those asshats who think driving within a foot of a cyclist is a good idea.

Today Flight 1549 of US Airways crashed into the Hudson River (no fatalities yay). Janis Krums, visiting form Florida, was on a ferry and overheard people saying “There’s a plane in the river!” Thinking they were joking, he turned to see a freaking plane in the river with people piling onto the wings and into life rafts. He posted a picture to his Twitter account only to be interviewed 20 minutes later by MSNBC. Nuts.

thx Laura.
