The Torker U-3 is based upon the successful U-District platform—a simple commuter bike, this time with drop bars and a 3-speed hub. Available in 4 sizes for just under $500, the U-3 will be popular with stylish and utilitarian customers this coming season. www.torkerusa.com
Everyone needs an $8500 track frameset, and Pinarello has the answer with the MAAT. The price at least includes the matching carbon bar/stem combo. Someone, somewhere with more money than brains will end up riding this on the street. Otherwise go fast, turn left. www.pinarello.com
Yuba is introducing the Boda Boda, a shorter wheelbase cruiser cargo bike. The $1000 bike is a mere 35 lbs due to the aluminum frame and sensible components, with a capacity to carry your 200 lb friend, or whatever else you may want to lash on the back. It features mounts for optional side mount runningboards, and braze-ons for a front basket. www.yubabikes.com
Kids need cool helmets too—and with the success of their Cyclehawk partnership Bern has created a Cyclehawk kids helmet, appropriately enough with Squid’s own 5 year old as the photo model.
