The Bloom Bicycle Bubble Blower
5 people recommended this item
Description
To be honest, I couldn't find any viable link that would show me where you could buy this beautiful thing, so I'm wondering if they haven't managed to get it into production. But what glorious idea - and if anyone finds where to buy it, please contact me and let me know! Here's the blurb from the originating website so you can see how wonderful an idea this is...
"The Bloom device is meant to be a subversive and inspirational tool for our concrete jungles. Similar to the tuft of a dandelion as the wind carries the seedling, Bloom proposes a way of dispersing seedlings with bubbles and bicycling. Seeds are co-mingled with a bubble mixture and upon pedaling to your destination , you release the floating seeds which land in cracks and crevices throughout the city streets. Over time, the seeds grow into flowers and plants to create a green "fringe" to our sidewalks and streets.
Using natural ingredients; vegetable based soap and seeds, combine together to make a dissolving "nugget". The resulting mixture resides in a reservoir inside Blooms aluminum housing. The housing is attached to the lower frame near the rear tire, similar to a exhaust pipe. Upon pedalling, air enters the front of Bloom and spins a pinwheel inside which picks up a small drop of the seed/bubble mixture and blows a bubble carrying a seed out the back as "exhaust".
Inspiration comes from the tale of Johnny Appleseed, where he would spread seeds everywhere he went planting apple trees for future generations."

Sawako Furuno Cycling Helmee
3 people recommended this item
Description
Oh yummy! Cycling helmets tend to look a little bit...er...dorky. I wear one anyway because I think I'd look worse on the tarmac with my head all broken, but I have to grin and bear the unaesthetic look. No more! This beauty will change everything, it looks cool and edgy, and the graphic just tops it all off.
