Bike Projects on Kickstarter

Kickstarter is popular, and you know what’s popular on Kickstarter? Bike stuffs! Check out these projects…

Juggernaut The Juggernaut will be a jig for welding your own bicycle frame. How sweet is that?

Theft Resistant Bike Light This theft resistant bike light has had some good coverage, so it’s already fully funded but there are still 24 days to go.

Companion Bike Seat Here’s a nice looking back seat for your whip, that has a locking storage compartment. Pretty slick. These guys aren’t funded yet, but they’ve got 35 days to go.

Chalktrail With a name like Chalktrail you can probably guess what this project is all about. Looks super fun for kids! Underfunded with lots of time left to help out.

Foldable Bike Fenders I know summer’s on the way, but here in Oregon it’s always a good time for fenders. These fenders fold up and hopefully work as good as they look. Almost fully funded, but still 9 days to go.

Sutro Mission Bicycle Here’s a full-on city bike that uses a internal hub for 8 gears with a fixie aesthetic. Unsurprisingly they’re fully funded, but still have 18 days to go, so you can get on it if your tax return is burning a hole in your pocket.

The link to Chalktrail is currently going to Companion Bike Seat.

Also, there seems to be no link for Sutro Mission Bicycle.

I contributed to some negativity on BikePortland with complaints about those pseudofenders. But nothing will change if people don't understand the hate.

They might be nice for you, but that rooster tail isn't very courteous to the riders behind you, whether it's because you passed somebody, or someone is trying to go around you.

Like day and night, rain is a fact of life in Oregon. I don't strip off the lights and reflectors from bikes I ride around Portland because it's daytime. Full-time, full-coverage fenders aren't going to ruin the aesthetics of the bike any more than riding my bike in the rain, with or without those things.
