New December Gadgets

Recording every ride may just be the best motivation to keep my bike in use despite Winter's chill. The Bikepod from Photojojo ($25) works with most smartphone-sized phones to act as a tripod, which is ready for action, atop a set of bicycle handlebars. It's made of metal and cork to absorb all the bumps and dips of the open road while keeping your phone safe and, for cycling purists, the handlebars scratch-free.
