If riders are distracted or have the wind in their ears, vehicles rapidly approaching from behind can be almost right on top of them before being noticed. Gadgets such as <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/rearviz-arm-bicycle-mirror/29121/" target="_blank">mirrors</a> and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/owl-360-rearview-camera-for-bikes/19850/" target="_blank">rear-view cameras</a> can help, although riders still have to think to check them. The Backtracker, however, uses a radar signal to automatically alert cyclists whenever a car is closing in on them.  <a href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/backtracker-bicycle-radar/32834/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="32831"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/universal-bike-one-size-frame/32831/">Universal Bike – one frame to fit them all</a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></div> <div class="date">July 4, 2014</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/universal-bike-one-size-frame/32831/#comments">1 Comment</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/universal-bike-one-size-frame/32831/pictures">5 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/universal-bike-one-size-frame/32831/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140705031201im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/universalbike.jpg" title="The Universal Bike's frame can reportedly be adjusted to fit a wide variety of riders and ..." alt="The Universal Bike's frame can reportedly be adjusted to fit a wide variety of riders and ..."/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> One of the hassles involved in buying a bicycle is determining what frame size you should get. The size that works with one make and model isn't always the best choice for another, plus you might sometimes find that your particular measurements put you "between" sizes. Additionally, even if you get the frame dimensions right, you may discover that components such as the handlebar stem are too long or short. New York City-based Brooklyness wants to address that situation, with its one-size-for-everyone adjustable Universal Bike.  <a href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/universal-bike-one-size-frame/32831/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="32790"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/specialized-s-works-mclaren-tarmac/32790/">Specialized and McLaren reunite for limited-edition $20,000 road bike</a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></div> <div class="date">July 2, 2014</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/specialized-s-works-mclaren-tarmac/32790/#comments">3 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/specialized-s-works-mclaren-tarmac/32790/pictures">5 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/specialized-s-works-mclaren-tarmac/32790/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140705031201im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/s-worksmclarentarmac.jpg" title="One of the relatively few S-Works McLaren Tarmac bicycles " alt="One of the relatively few S-Works McLaren Tarmac bicycles "/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> Three years ago, US bicycle manufacturer Specialized teamed up with Britain's McLaren Applied Technologies to create what they called "the fastest complete performance bike in the world" – the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/specialized-and-mclaren-create-road-bike/18232/" target="_blank">S-Works + McLaren Venge</a>.

While you could try to determine the least-taxing route by jotting down how tense you are in which places, doing so could get pretty complicated. The MindRider, however, is designed to make that process easier. It's a "mind-reading" bike helmet that lets you create so-called mind maps of your travels.  <a href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/mind-reading-mindrider-bike-helmet/32543/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="32528"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/izzybike-chainless-folding-bike/32528/">IzzyBike lacks a chain, but has optional 2-wheel-drive</a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></div> <div class="date">June 12, 2014</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/izzybike-chainless-folding-bike/32528/#comments">12 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/izzybike-chainless-folding-bike/32528/pictures">6 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/izzybike-chainless-folding-bike/32528/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140705031201im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/izzybike.jpg" title="The IzzyBike definitely has a look of its own " alt="The IzzyBike definitely has a look of its own "/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> Bike chains can be dirty and noisy, so an increasing number of manufacturers are choosing to replace them with belt drives.

Its drivetrain is built right into the front wheel hub, which gives it some claimed advantages over other bikes – besides there being less mess.  <a href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/izzybike-chainless-folding-bike/32528/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div id="pagination"> <div class="next_prev"> <span>1</span> <a href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/bicycles/2/">2</a> <a href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/bicycles/3/">3</a> <a href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/bicycles/4/">4</a> <a href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/bicycles/5/">5</a> <a href="/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/bicycles/2/" class="next_pagination">Next </a> » </div> </div> <div class="dotsontop">  <div id="search_form_bottom"> <form action="https://web.archive.org/web/20140705031201/http://www.gizmag.com/search/" id="cse-search-box-bottom"> <span class="title">Looking for something?
