But now San Francisco-based DZR is looking to introduce some bike footwear that doesn’t look like bike shoes, yet features a platform for pedal cleats. 
When camping bringing good portable lights is key. This is something that is sometimes very difficult to understand in our modern world where lights are readily available after the sun goes down. There are plenty of lights out there, but it can expensive and take up a lot of room to bring them all.
In the fictional world of George Orwell’s 1984 Ingsoc was the political ideology of the totalitarian government, and it was known for double speak, a type of hiding the real message. InCOG on the other hand has nothing to do with a nefarious world order, but it offers another take on hiding things.
