Bamboo is lightweight, stiff, and about as strong as steel, making it an ideal material for bike frames—so why don’t we see more of them? While bamboo bikes typically come with a steep price tag that extends upward from a cool grand, Greenstar Bikes has found a way to offer a bamboo bicycle for a much cooler $400. www.greenstarbikes.com

Merino wool is popular for all the right reasons (warm when wet, doesn’t retain odors, heat-regulating) and has made its way into more clothing items at home on and off the bike. Chrome has reworked their wool offerings with the $140–160 Chrome Merino Cobra line of pullover, full-zip and hooded riding sweaters. www.chromeindustries.com

Lucetta is a small pair of magnetic bicycle blinkies from Pizzolorusso Industrial Design. Easy to place on your (steel) bicycle when you head out, easy to snap together and put in your pocket at the end of the ride. They claim that the lights will stay attached over rough roads, but you can color me skeptical that a pothole or curb wouldn’t claim them. www.pizzolorusso.com

This is the last floor pump you, or your neighborhood, will ever buy. The $650 Dero Air Kit 3 is meant for permanent outdoor installation with such features as a water- and fog-proof gauge, large BMX grips and a -30–110º F temperature range. The huge footprint is tamper and theft resistant, and allows the overall construction to be burly enough to only require yearly maintenance when sitting outdoors, potentially servicing an entire college campus. www.dero.com
