Move aside Hovding, there's a new blow-up safety device for cyclists in town... Helite have created the B'Safe, an airbag system for cyclists, that looks like a gilet but expands when it senses you're about to take a tumble. 

Described as a 'wearable airbag', it's reusable and detects when you've had an accident, blowing up automatically at 80 ms to protect the neck, thorax and back from impacts. It will "enhance your biking experience', say Helite, and it's going to be available soon according to their website. 

#crossiscoming and today the Corendon-Circus Cyclocross Team, headed by Mathieu Van der Poel, have unveiled the new Canyon Inflite CF SLX bikes the team will be racing this season.

Someone has been leaving letters on hire bikes in Philadelphia complaining about hire bikes being used on the World Naked Bike Ride there, headed “WARNING: A NAKED PERSON SAT ON THIS BICYCLE SEAT.”

The letter itself, which has been posted to Reddit, doesn’t expand on that headline, but instead decries “exposing others to public nudity against their will.”

Organisers of the city’s World Naked Bike Ride say on their website,”If you are renting a bike, we strongly recommend wrapping your seat," going onto list items that can be used for that purpose such as a t-shirt, bandanna or “a swatch of velvet.” (Whatever floats your boat on that last one).

The city’s Office of Transportation, which manages Philadelphia’s Indego cycle hire scheme, told The Inquirer that it had not received any formal complaints about people riding the bikes naked, nor was it considering banning people in the buff from riding them.

It's got space for 32mm tyres, has a new integrated cockpit for improved aerodynamics and weighs just 870g for the frame.

It was a momentous edition of BBC News at Ten last night, with the programme coinciding with Prime Minister Boris Johnson's defeat in the first House of Commons vote since taking office. But when the programme cut to a reporter outside the Scottish Parliament building at Holyrood to get the reaction from Edinburgh, some sharp-eyed viewers noticed something unusual going on in the background ...

As someone who once cycled into a canal, I just want to let that guy know that while he may feel bad now, he should know that people will mercilessly take the piss out of him for the rest of his life.

We’re are Eurobike and the first new thing we’ve spotted is the first complete stationary bike trainer from Wahoo.

It’s a one size fits all design, and it’s got a fancy method of taking the measurements of your bike so you can match it perfectly to get the right fit on the Kickr bike. Or you can input bike fit data from Retul or Guru using the Wahoo App. That is clever.

It’ll simulate gradients up and down, and even has front and rear brakes to control your speed, while gear shifters let you replicate seven custom gear configurations from Shimano, SRAM and Campagnolo.

It won’t be cheap however, costing $3,500 being first available in the US this October and then coming to Europe in early 2020.

“The KICKR Bike represents the highest standard for indoor smart bike performance and has extensive features,” says Wahoo’s Director of Product Management, Jose Mendez. “However, we went to great lengths to ensure the product remained simple and intuitive to set up and operate. We’ve learned that it’s not enough to make a product with a lot of great features. We knew the KICKR BIKE needed to be as effortless as possible to use so athletes can focus on training and not troubleshooting.” 

In other Wahoo news, there are firmware updates for current Kickr and Kickr Core trainers. “ Each have been updated to allow for multiple Bluetooth connections, meaning that multiple sensor pairings are now faster and even more reliable, ensuring a trouble-free start to workouts, says the company.

Also new for 2019 is the Kickr KOM Bundle which features the Kickr Smart Trainer and Kickr Climb grade simulator for the combined RRP of £1349.98. This is a saving of £150 over purchasing the two units separately and is available now.  The Kickr Snap is now even more competitively priced at £429.99 for the indoor trainer season
