A single-speed everyday cruiser, Solé’s Micklish bike is made from durable welded steel, with a matte black frame and gold accents. Wheels include Presta valves, and the riveted details on the Cionilli seat are spiffy. More colorways here.

Plume Bicycle Mudguard

Plume Bicycle Mudguard

Plume is an easy to install mudguard that gets out of the way when you don’t need it. It behaves like a retractable tape measure. It stays unfurled even in rough terrain, yet it coils back with a gentle press of your finger.

The LEDs on Helios are for more than just illumination. Aside from a headlight, it also has two rear LEDs with multiple functions. They can be used as turn signals, visual speedometers and even provide turn-by-turn directions.
