Bendy Bicycle by Kevin Scott

British designer, Kevin Scott, 21 has designed an awesome bendable bicycle that can tie itself to a lamp post without the need for a lock or chain.

He used a ratchet system built into the frame of the bike to allow it to wrap around a pole, enabling a single bike lock to be wrapped through both wheels and the frame. And its frame can be ratcheted tight to allow the bike to be ridden like a normal bike.

Mr Scott's bike is currently on show at the New Designers show at the Business Design Centre in Islington, north London.

Heynsdyk 2500 SF

The Heynsdyk 2500 SF bears a brand you may never have heard of, producing a sports car you may never have seen. Its design is at once classic and contemporary, a fusion of influences from the BMW Z roadster to the Weismann Roadster and the classic racers of the 1940’s and 50’s.

Underneath the hood of the Heynsdyk 2500 SF– this beauty is all Porsche, 944 to be exact. This Heynsdyk is actually a kit car built around the platform of Porsche 944 of the mid-80s.
The best part about picking up a Heynsdyk 2500 SF is its price. The kit alone can be had for roughly $20,000 USD, but you’ll need to get your hands on a healthy Porsche 944 or 944S first.

If you want to pick up a complete Heynsdyk, it’ll cost you around $50,000 USD– still a great price for a car that you’ll never see two of on the road.

This time, beside being the official sponsor, Coca-Cola has launched a set of four collector cans for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. Designed by Iconologic, the 325ml cans have everything related to the event including the Olympic & Coca-Cola logo, and silhouettes of athletes. The cans only feature three sports: snowboarder, figure skater and speed skater while the last design has the contour of the Coca-Cola bottle with a special inukshuk design.

The 2010 Chanel Sport Collection

CHANEL has expanded their line of sports equipment to include everything from boogie boards to bocce ball. Tons of snow skis, five snowboards, four different surfboards, a bicycle, five tennis racquets, two guitars, a scooter, fishing gear, golf clubs, Polo gear, a boomerang, a basketball, a football.... even inline skates. The luxury brand now has everything you need to compete in style whether riding a horse, or a wave.

As expected, they are all with CHANEL logos, cases and fine details.

But somehow, I feel they don't faithfully reflect the CHANEL brand. Or maybe its just because I'm not used to seeing the brand on sports equipment...
