Pulse, Teague's new concept for an urban bike, addresses all the necessities of a standard bike commute. Taking cues from both fixed gears and cafe-racers, Its features include electric turn signals controlled from the handlebars and a luminescent frame that lights up when you need it. We especially love the specialized caged bike pedals--they're counterweighted to always sit "the right way round," allowing the rider to benefit from their three-fold increase in efficiency without suffering from having to clip into upside down pedals at every stoplight.

Here's the pitch from Teague: 150 years of continuous/passionate refinement have resulted in bicycle components that are both ultra efficient and ultra reliable. And yet this passionate perfection hides in plain sight. The power of design is its ability to create (animal) magnetism around compelling ideas in relevant context. Dana Krieger, Industrial designer at Teague presents a tribute to the triangle. A reinterpretation of an icon, which unifies individual components into a coherent statement in tune with contemporary needs (and attitudes). Equal parts gym membership, fashion statement and Kyoto pact contributor--Pulse is a transportation solution in synch with the needs of today's urban denizen.

More info here, and many more pics after the jump!

    Bloom's folding crib

    Go back to the last century and you'd see babies sucking on rubber pacifiers, Maggie-Simpson-style, which every parent bought; years later we'd find out those seemingly harmless chew-things actually release endocrine disrupters over time. Not good.One of the modern-day companies trying to keep babies safe from chemical crap--in style--is Bloom,...

    As laptop tech gets thinner, the ID must keep pace

    As discussed at last week's Intel Technology Summit, the name granted to the new category of laptops--the Mama Bear, as it were, to the Papa Bear regular laptop and Baby Bear netbook--is "ultrathin." The chief distinction is size, in that netbooks generally have up to 10-inch screens whereas ultrathins will...
