Interbike 2013: Triple 8 Goes Four
We’re not exactly good at math, but Triple Eight announced at Interbike this week that it is expanding its Bike Line with four new helmets. These include the new Gotham (above), which offers a mix of style, comfort and safety for the urban/commuter market. This helmet features a subtle brim and Triple Eight logo vent, along with a custom Adjustable Fit Dial System, patented Conehead EPS liner technology plus reflective branding for safety.
In addition the lineup includes the lightweight in-mold design Compass, which will be good for those heading out to the trails or just a cruise through town. This MTB helmet features greater head coverage than traditional bike helmets and an Adjustable Fit Dial System to provide a secure, custom fit no matter how rugged the terrain. The Invader takes up it up a notch and is for those who want to make a full blown assault on bombing hills or hitting jumps, while the Lil 8 is for those younger riders, and is dual certified for toddler skaters and riders. It even offers the Adjustable Fit Dial System because the little ones should have a great fit too.
Interbike 2013: Basket Case
In the Netherlands bikes are more than just something people ride for exercise or as an alternate way to commute to work. In fact in the Netherlands bikes are often the primary means of transportation and this means you need a way to carry things home.
Basil Bags has been creating bicycle baskets since 1976 and while it might not seem all that innovative, the company looks to deliver cutting-edge designs that are fashionable and more importantly functional for daily use. This can be enough to quickly transform any commuting-worthy bicycle into a cargo bike.
