Saw this on an article about Sparse, a bike light manufacturer. (http://www.xconomy.com/national/2014/06/06/the-story-of-sparse/)

That saddle's way too far forward. I would recommend a frame with a shorter TT.

Not a bad rendering of a Brooks Pro.

The poor mechanic who lifts the armed bike by the saddle to put it in the repair stand...

Could give new meaning to the phrase "falling on your sword"... ;)

Ah yes the exploding seat post! I have thought about it a lot. I am still working on the prototype. think about it! Your bike gets stolen. Your App on your cell phone alerts you to fact that your bicycle is moving without you on it. You can send a signal to your bicycle to send the exploding seat post at least 35 feet into the air. when there is at least 75 pound pressure on it. the rider is now up in the air at least 50 feet. At which point he receives a text message stating, ''I have parachutes for sale, quick delivery!'' So now has he hurtles back to earth he wishes he could read and text back one heck of a lot faster! YES Charles

There was a story of a person that mounted razor blades behind the stereo of his car.

One morning, he found the interior of his car splattered with blood with the all the seats and dashed slashed up.

I'm not sure if he laughed or cried.

I've heard about doing this also (from someone who said that a cop told him that he might consider doing that) and the same flaw occurred to me - you now have a pissed, bleeding criminal in your car - what do you think is going to happen? I'm surprised all the windows weren't smashed and the body panels beat to h3ll.
