From the Cascade Bicycle Club in Seattle comes this interesting satire. Don’t miss out on being stuck in traffic, join in the fun!

In a humorous turn of events, a just-married couple getting their wedding shots taken found themselves right in the middle of the World Naked Bike Ride in Melbourne!
Did they freak out? Nope, they put some naked cyclists in their wedding pics. Not many people can claim that, I bet. Check out the story in The [...]

I have to say I was mildly irritated with Marcus this week when he took what could have been a perfectly good Dumbest Product of the Week away from me with the $27,000 “The World’s Most Advanced [...]
It’s hard to believe, but Dumbest Product of the Week has entered its 25th edition, our silver anniversary so to speak. We’ve enjoyed skewering silly products these last seven months, and despite the seeming implosion of our economy, they just keep coming.
I’d like to thank one of our vigilant readers for sending me this week’s [...]
The fashion industry has inspired us to pen more than one Dumbest Product of the Week. When fashion and cycling converge as they often do with clothing maker Rapha, we have pay dirt.
Some of you may recall Rapha’s $750 Tweed Softshell as our 16th edition Dumbest Product winner. This softshell may be OK for slumming [...]
Last night, my wife introduced me to the site FAIL blog where sometimes funny, sometime pitiful photographic and video examples of failure are shared. While there, I came across this video of not so cool BMXers. Enjoy.

Dumbest Product of the Week is taking a one week hiatus. I had a product selected for this week, but just not the time.
We’ll be back with more fun next week. In the meantime, check out our archive of previous Dumbest Products for some golden oldies.

Rob at Bicycle Austin Blog recently found a video from New Zealand’s News 3 (which is apparently REALLY sponsored by Mazda) about a guy who was pepper sprayed and rammed because he wasn’t wearing a helmet. I know Kiwis are known for extreme sports like bungie jumping, but I didn’t know they were into extreme arrests.
In [...]
Are dumb products simply foolish entries in the marketplace or are they part of an more sinister plot? In the past I’ve had my doubts, but I’d like to think all these folks are well meaning if misdirected souls.
Thanks to Bike Hacks for alerting me to this week’s nominee for Dumbest Product of the Week, The [...]
Late last week, I snapped this photo around the corner from my office of an interesting locking job. In light of the news of James Clayton’s arrest last week, there might some relaxing in security among cyclists, but this person remained vigilant. Unfortunately, their choice of hitching post was less than idea.
Obviously, there are many [...]
