Biking, just like any sport and hobby is not immune to fads or trends. In this week's blog post, we’re looking at two trends we believe will stick around for many years to come. 

Interestingly, the two trends we’ve selected sit at both ends of the biking spectrum: on the one hand we have a trend that puts adventure, nature and self-discovery central. On the other hand we have a trend that puts the virtual and socially connected world central.

Cycling is big and so many have picked it up in the last year. So we wanted to share five amazing cycling projects. So we wanted to share four of them just in case you wanted to try something new. 1 Cycling through the Trees The "Cycling through the Trees" project in Bosland, Belgium is a unique experience where a circular bridge has been built which allows you to cycle high between the trees! The cycle path goes up to 10 meters high and is 700 meters long in total. 2 Cycle through Water Another Belgian one (maybe we are biased :P).

What is a bike safety light?

Technically every bike light is a safety light. However, some bike lights do not keep your safety in mind whatsoever. Cheap cycling lights provide little to no safety, they provide a false sense of safety, often leading to more accidents. A quick example; a cyclist with cheap lights believes all the cars see him or her but the light is not visible from more than 10 meters off. Far too little room for drivers to react to sudden situations. With a good bike safety light we mean lights that are made with your safety in mind. Cheap lights only think about your wallet! Safety doesn’t have a price, so please think about this when making your purchase. Whatever light you end up buying, it must have your safety in mind. This is what we mean with bicycle safety lights.
