This is a great test that takes a look at fifteen under $40 battery tail lights and gives comprehensive results and reviews for the lights tested.

If you are shopping  for a taillight this is a great resource.

The site is plain but deep. Poke around a little and you will find all sorts of esoteric bike knowledge. Recommended.

Philosophy InTrans pannier

Velouria, writing in her ‘Lovely Bicycle’ blog, reports on her time with Philosophy bags. She summarizes:

Philosophy panniers are high quality, well though-out, versatile and classic products that are well worth their price and are unlikely to disappoint.

Here at Wallbike, we sold out of our first order of Philosophy bags surprisingly quickly. We are waiting for the improved 2012 version to go into production.

M. Berthoud has developed a solution for riders who want to use the well-regarded Rohloff Speedhub fourteen-speed internal gear hub on drop handlebars.

Berthoud has also added a new model to his popular leather saddle line. The ‘Mente’ model is wider, at 180mm, and less costly than the race and tour saddles and is designed for a more upright riding position.

Wallingford Bicycle Parts looks forward to carrying these new Gilles Berthoud products as soon as they become available.
