Here’s the latest in the world of walking sticks. They call it the Multi-function Crutch (not very catchy) and it’s battery powered (3 AAA - not included). What does a $31 battery-powered stick do? It has a built in flash light, red signal lights and an alarm. It also has a built in suspension system! One they say will let you cruise in comfort. You can even toggle the anti-shock suspension system, if you wanted to go all ‘old school’.
But then you’d just have a stick… with a light on it. And where’s the fun in that?

Forget those strappy rubber coated racks that lead to scratched paint. The folks at General Motors have hired Q to come in and James Bond-ify their vehicles. Check out this hidden bike rack! That is what Money Penny would call sweeeeeeeeet!
The retractible rack (dubbed the Flex-Fit) even sports a slot for an extra license plate, keeping your car up to code… don’t want the boys in blue to derail your date with the trail. Right now, GM is testing this bike rack system on cars overseas and has no official word if it is coming to the States. We’ll let you know if they do.
