Quoc Pham Hardcourt Clipless Shoes

As a London trained fashion graduate and discerning cyclist Quoc Pham got into the cycling shoe business in 2009 with his retro-chic perforated leather shoes. Available in both a mid and low cut version, the Hardcourt is made from synthetic fabric with an EVA lining rather than the leather of other Quoc Pham shoes to provide splashproof footwear that should last for a few seasons of daily riding. The Hardcourt comes in any color of black you would like and is compatible with two-bolt SPD cleats. Final US pricing is not available, but expect them to run around $250 per pair. www.quocpham.com

Knog Blinder ARC

The Blinder ARC 5.5 has a blinding 550 lumens of peak output with up to 6 hours of steady and 9 hours of flashing run time. Given the bright beam, the light throw has been made elliptical to illuminate what’s immediately in front of you along with what is further down the road. The Blinder ARC has a replaceable mounting strap, is USB rechargeable and 100% waterproof, submersible even. Perfect for people with long commutes or looking to extend their rides well into the post-sunset hours. www.knog.com.au
