Because we’re all such environmentally friendly and health-conscious sorts (why are you looking at us like that?) cycling about the place is second nature. The resulting safety implications particularly visibility are an important consideration as anyone who’s nearly been squished between two London buses will tell you. The SpokeLit bike light is a fantastic and simple way to ensure you don’t get knocked off (not in the mafia way obviously). All you have to do is clip the SpokeLit to your spokes click it on and hey presto you have a brilliant bicycle lighting. You then have the choice of a constant or a rapidly flashing coloured light. We kind of prefer the constant light on a purely aesthetic level – cycling at the right speed produces that lovely ring of light effect. Of course it’s more about staying visible on the roads than looking like an extra from Blade Runner but there’s no harm in looking cool. The batteries last for ages and installation only takes a few seconds so why not get your hands on one of these funky rear lamp accessories – keeping you safe while you brave the roads in the dark. Features: Bike SpokeLit safety light for cyclists. Simply clip it to the spokes and turn it on before you start cycling The light will either hold a steady glow or flash rapidly to make you as visible as possible in the dark Colours may vary: red blue or green Easy to operate (not whilst in motion unless you fancy losing your fingers down the nearest drain) Suitable for ages 8 years + Size: 12 x 3.5 x 2.5cm

Bicygnals you may be forgiven for thinking this is about listening to Lisa Minnelli show tunes in an A&F T shirt but you’d be wrong. They are in fact the cleverest thing to be invented for a bicycle since oh I don’t know handlebars? The reason bicycles have handlebars is because not unsurprisingly you kind of need your hands to steer (which on the whole has nothing to do with American cattle) and handlebars do a pretty good job of it. This is all very logical and seems to have caught on which is good but there is a flaw. When you need to turn left or right you need to let people know which means lifting one hand off your steering wheel (so to speak) and halving your control. Added to this lack of control is the fact that on a busy road with those horrid car things zooming about the only thing to let them know what you’re doing is one frail arm flapping about which at 30mph on a rainy night is more or less invisible to an alert car driver let alone a tired one. Solution indicators! It’s been tried before but the Heath Robinson inventions of the past have been rubbish whereas Bicygnals harness the joy of wireless technology and the coolth (?) of contemporary design. They clip on and off your bike with ease and even clip together and have a carry pouch for when you’re not biked up. A simple flick of your thumb gets both the front and rear signals winking away without a single wire between them. Brilliant concept glorious design simple clean efficient and really rather clever. Keep your hands where you need them and be seen. Features: Wireless indicators and lights for your bike. Lights are detachable and magnetic slotting together into a compact carry case when not in use. Super-bright LED indicator lights at front and rear. Front switches control rear indicators wirelessly. Rear indicators are curved for side visibility. Integrated front and rear reflectors and LED rear and headlights. An option to have the rear and headlight on full beam or a flashing mode. Low battery indicator. Ergonomic and adjustable front and rear clamps. Complies with Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations. Requires 4 x AA Batteries (included) and 4 x AAA Batteries (included). Size: 32 x 9 x 3cm (in bag).

Unicycling as similar to riding a bicycle as surfing is to carpet bowls. If your sense of balance is more finely tuned than your sense of self-preservation then this is for you. Don’t buy this if you’re scared of a challenge though it’s great fun having a go. The really tricky bit is keeping the six watermelons in the air without your wheel slipping off the tightrope. Unicycling is not easy but then neither is origami and whilst paper folding is very creative and all it doesn’t get the adrenalin pumping or indeed your legs. Half as useful as a bicycle and twice as entertaining it’s a full sized cycle and comes boxed requiring some very elementary assembly. It has a 20inch wheel with aluminium rim a fully adjustable (and very comfy) seat and anti-slip pedals – though they’ll be the least of your problems. The handlebars are of course missing but we gather that’s the point of the whole thing.
