One Street has announced that its Bike Shift Lever for Anybody, by Anybody is ready to launch via a Kickstarter campaign beginning next month. The bicycle advocacy group has been working on simple to make, simple to use bike components for a while now and the shifters are shifting into high gear.
These feature a symmetrical design that works on both the right and left side, using only six parts and can be easily repaired. The Bike Shift Levers can be produced via primitive casting using scrap aluminum and are designed for people who depend on their bike, and is simple for those with weak or injured hands.
We’ll be sure to follow the efforts as the Bike Shift Lever heads to Kickstarter.
In urban centers bicycles are unfortunately stolen a lot. And a quality bike lock can protect the bike but only to a degree. Thieves often use tools to steal the expensive components from an unguarded bike, but now we’ve started to hear about British bike component maker Atomic22, which has introduced its infiniti3D system that utilizes a one-of-a-kind key tool that is paired with matched fasteners including bolts, wheel skewers and other parts that require tools.
