Bontrager Ballista Knit shoe review — knit done right

I wasn’t a huge fan of Bontrager’s standard Ballista road shoes. Although they looked sleek with their seamless synthetic leather uppers and single rear-mounted Boa dial, the heel hold was only so-so, and tightening the dial only created more pressure on top of your foot.

Blincclip is an emergency backup light that fits in your wallet

Sometimes it’s the simplest ideas that make the most sense. Case in point: Blincclip, a simple, double-sided flat card of reflective material that’s designed to blink while you ride.
