Dennis Hopper Would Have Used the iBike Rider
Actually, he wouldn't have, but only because in the 60s you needed a thousand-mile cable to carry a telephone around. And because he's too cool for the iPhone. Still, the batmanesque iBike Rider looks great for bikers with iPhones. More » -

A Ride Aboard the Pleasurecraft Turns Any Geek Into Captain Stubing
According to the designers, the Pleasurecraft "is a vehicular kit that choreographs gesture and landscape to produce an outing full of splendor and romance." This little love boat comes equipped with everything the awkward nerd needs to transform into a cool Casanova : luxurious pillows, a champagne cooler, instruction manuals, a mustache comb, tic-tacs and a water wheel that is "perfectly calibrated to the RPM of the River Seine." As the boat glides gracefully through the water, the wheel turns and activates a gramophone that serenades your lover. Let's just hope she is tone deaf because the video after the break doesn't scream "romance" to me. Good thing it is only a concept. More » -
