wouldn't it be amazing that no matter where you go in the world there's always a bike waiting for you the idea for air donkey grew from a dream of a world where commuters tourists and also people just enjoying the city choose the bike before the car hello my name is Arden and I'm Alexander we are from air donkey to make the dream come true we sat down and developed an ecosystem that we felt could motivate people to use the bicycle as a main means of transportation the Airbnb model for bicycles the air donkey air donkey is not just a product we bring together the simplicity of uber the sharing economy the air B&B and the benefits of a bicycle the idea is if you have a bike that you're not using share it all you need to do is sign up to get a donkey kit you can now turn your spare bike into a cheap to rent mean of transportation that anyone with a donkey app can locate and rent the donkey lark is easy to mount and is completely theft rain and possible you can recharge the battery with a USB cable and will last for about a year attach the instruction panel to the handlebar to provide an easy-to-use guide for the system you can also play Stein through public stickers on your bike frame and it will be easy to locate for any user that's it your donkey is ready to roll for bike owners the system gives you the chance to earn money on having a spare bike while sharing the good values of biking you can set your own rental price and define the zone where the user should drop off the bike if you need additional security you can use a leash or a chain to lock your bike to something if you want to use your bike privately instead of renting it out you just turn off the rental function in the app and the bunkie lock works as a regular lock you could also get a few donkey locks and run it as a part-time business for bike users you will never be without a bike again when going abroad you can locate and book a donkey in advance you can also check up on bikes individual features like a baby seat or a cargo box the app makes it easy to find a donkey and it enables you to pay and unlock within seconds the only need internet connection for booking and payment but the donkey lock works offline every year hundreds of millions of people travel the world and visit new cities just imagine all of them on a bike in January we launched the first donkeys on the streets of Copenhagen in our system is reliable we already have more than 10,000 trips and 500 users and this summer we released over 150 of our own original donkeys on the streets now it's time to make donkeys available everywhere both for bike owners and for users with your support we'll be able to improve the software with additional features and gear up our production so we can release donkeys all over the world thank you so much for your time and support v-line cycling device that will change the way you think about city navigation and putting the fun and adventure back into your ride with beeline simply click a destination and you're good to go the device shows you the distance in the directions ahead in the rest is up to you know turn left turn right no route you choose your turns based on the direction of the arrow you're quite used to being told go this way go that way goodness we go that way and you actually don't enjoy the journey you're just trying to get to where you're going whereas I think when you just know the bearing and you're just cycling you actually think oh that grows more interesting I'm gonna go down here or I fancy weaving through these roads it just makes it a bit more relaxing but more than adventure so I like the fact that you're sort of involved in the navigation you're actually trying to allowing you the route you're taking exactly with the VLAN area and when you get that sub spot on it's actually quite fun you never feel like you missed a turn if it's dangerous you don't have to take that turn just takes the stress out situation having lived in London for four years I was very fixed on stat routes in an hour beeline has opened up the city for me let me discover new areas in your past I wouldn't use before this morning and you will once you come over London Bridge I like the fact that I can add that as a waypoint on yeah this didn't even start an idea for products we're just getting lost and for which sticks and compasses on our bikes to help that then we call cremate that better obviously this compass idea is a little bit different to conventional navigation so we weren't sure if it would work we made an app to test that and we were just like whoa this is way better than we're doing with me we thought we might get stuck down little streets or whatever just didn't happen everywhere we went it just seamlessly got you through there in a really nice fun way where you're exploring the city we had this idea about a year ago and since then we've brought into the team all the expertise that we've needed to get beeline to where it is today we made beeline visible under any conditions by giving Annie page screen and the back line its shockproof its rain proof and that a normal usage is that she lost around four weeks the next step is to go into full production and that's why we're there on Kickstarter so if I cuss you want for the fun back into your ride base today to get your be life with you out we're going beeline to the masses thank you very much I'm mark he stopped oh yes I lost it we may be like at relight we are designing the future of bike lights we will change your perception of how modern bike lights perform

lights and technical innovation in collaboration with renowned design studio kilo we bring you neo where high performance meets forward-thinking design battery free neo six neodymium magnets are

on wheels you only need one more light neo cycling through the city is an amazing experience but there's one problem that all cyclists share and that is navigation we are very active cyclists ourselves and we've often experienced how using your phone while cycling is both awkward and sometimes even dangerous and having headphones in your ears telling you where to go just makes you lose some of the sense of freedom that cycling normally gives that is how the idea of Heisei was born we wanted to create a simple affordable and easy to use product that will help find your way through the city high scores like a magic compass but instead of pointing north it points to your final destination in that way you are free to choose your own routes for the citizens just open the app set your location and attach Heiser to your bike the leds of the outer circle show you the direction and the central LED indicates the distance to your goal so now you can find your own way through the city without being in danger of getting lost and who knows what amazing places and experiences you can find by not choosing the route most travel Heisey is made out of machined aluminum making it sturdy and waterproof and when you're not using the device you can simply hide the rubber band within the device and put it in your pocket that way you can always bring it with you be it to find that new restaurant after work or to discover when cycling abroad if you have a day where you feel more like sticking to the Main Roads highs of course also offers turn-by-turn navigation we haven't spent the last year developing the simplest possible product to find your way through the city and now we're very happy to have a working prototype and we need your help to develop the first production brand so please support our campaign and make sure you will be one of the first owners of this magical compass that will change the way you navigate the city forever imagine a brighter world for
