Bike Porn - USB Rechargeable Bike Light!

It's hard to believe this doesn't already exist. Instead of digging around in a junk drawer, searching for a battery charger or fresh batteries, you can take the silicone casing off the Knog Boomer Rechargeable and simply plug it into any USB port to charge it.

This simple design idea has made this little light very popular on the cycling and tech blogs, which is pretty impressive since it isn't even available yet.  Why?  Because most people who bike commute have access to USB ports everywhere.  Simple, easy, and it just works.

Speaking of portable and USB ports, I'm wondering if Knog should add a memory chip to the light.  You could load it with music files, a JPEG of your favorite race hill profile, or pictures of your other bikes.  Knog could even develop a web interface that allows you to create your own flashing pattern or colors.

What would you keep on your USB bike light?

Hey, all you triathlon studs and studettes!  This is another deep episode of ZenTri, starting off with an interview with adventure swimmer Bruckner Chase.  He swam 28 miles across Monterrey Bay to raise awareness of our national marine sanctuaries.  We discuss jellyfish, fear, the environment, and much more!

 

After that, we dive into the ZenTri training log and cover tons of training and Zen issues while you tag along with my training.  I take listeners running with me straight into the heart of my own fear - running down a highway at night.  We even have a special lesson on how to power nap as taught by a Karate Sensei.  

Listen in and let's do this!

How to be Zen. Lesson from a Toad.

I was out running last night and caught a big toad just being himself out on the sidewalk.  I pass these guys a lot lately, and it's a good reminder that you are most genuine when you are being yourself.  You don't have to work so hard to be better, faster, leaner, or whatever.  Just try being more you and that's where you start.
