Despite the Dutch pun, this rear light might be a good idea. It actually lights up as a brake light during the day, which could help you prevent rear-end collisions by making you more visible when you’re slowing down. Some of the most serious car-bike accidents happen because of rear-ending, so this is important. You can also make it say things like Baby On Board, and it has some anti-theft and tracking functionalities that don’t suck.

On a scale of one to pun I give it an ACHT.

I'll stop there. And I won’t even go into the myriad GoPro/Garmin mounts, or the performance western style mountain bike wear. You're welcome.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
