Black Bird Fly Camera

Black Bird Fly

Oddly enough, the Superheadz are releasing retro cameras. The Blackbird, fly has a twin lens arrangement and will make you feel at home at the next screening of “Magical Mystery Tour.” We understand that they only run about $100.00 each, meaning that you have to sacrifice auto-focus for looking cool. Even better than the name of the cam is the site of the Superheadz, so take a trip to the Magic Camera Tour 2008.

Biomega AMS Bicycle

Biomega AMS Bicycle

“There are loads of good bikes for specific sports,” says designer Jens Martin Skibsted, “But few are built for just getting around town.” Filling this void is his Biomega AMS 8-Speed Bicycle (2004). When discussing his design, the designer uses the analogy of an Apple computer and a PC: Other bikes may offer more in the way of specialized functionality, but Biomega’s integrated design is easy to use, reliable and virtually maintenance free. In other words, it’s simple. This appropriately geared, reliable machine delivers a level of responsiveness that’s made for city riding. The bike’s cardanic shaft drive is an integrated, chainless transmission that’s extremely durable and low maintenance. The upright seating position makes for a pleasant ride and the brake cables run through the frame where they’re better protected and out of the way of pedaling legs. The front disc brake is placed where it’s needed to handle 80% of braking power. Simple assembly required.
