Infento is kind of like an Erector set for wagons, bikes, trikes, and snow sleds. The kid-sized vehicles are constructed from dozens of supplied components using a hex key, letting kids and parents work together to build various new rides.

We honestly have no idea what insanity was going through the mind of bicyclist Primož Ravnik as he set off straight down a 200-foot-tall dam without a jump ramp. The only thing between him and a certain demise was a small pool of water at the bottom.

Before the Kia World Extreme Games, rider Pat “Big Daddy” Laughlin performed an insane stunt, riding his bike down a ramp, dismounting and landing on another bike to finish his ride. We went from “No way.” to “Way!” and you will too.

Bike rider Bienvenido Aguado Alba’s GoPro captured exactly what he saw when he crash landed, then later pulled off the first ever competition double front-flip – giving us just a small taste of the rush he must have experienced.

The Orp bike light/horn sends out either a 76dB chirp or 96dB blast (on par with a car horn) depending on how hard you push it. It’s also rechargeable and has 2 LEDs with 3 light modes. It was successfully funded so keep an eye out.

The Rideye is a blackbox for your bike. It houses a camera that continuously records up to 2.5 hours of wide-angle HD video, and automatically saves videos if it detects a crash. Also has one-touch manual save and one-month battery life.

Industrial designer Joey Ruiter conceived this fat-wheeled urban bike with a special holder built in for carrying around a 1/2 gallon growler filled with his favorite beer instead of a water bottle. Hydration is overrated anyhow.
