POPSCLIX bicycle wheel quick-release system This would do away with our periodic arguments. Me: Hey, that's not how to tighten a quick-release lever. You need to... Him: Yeah, I don't care. Me: It's a safety issue. Your wheel isn't secure. Him: Yeah, I don't care. Me: ARRRRGH! This new quick-release claims to be "literally fool-proof". Hey, sweetie! ;-)

POPSfolding bike review: the Giant Halfway A few more foldies the writer likes: Again, there are many great folding bicycles on the market today, another sign that the bicycle industry is moving to better serve the commuter market. Great folders include the Breezer Zigzag , the Brompton , and the KHS Mocha/Latte . If you are a multimodal bicycle commuter fearful of rapid crowding on transit systems, or live in a small apartment, or lack secure bike parking and need to bring your bike into your office/workplace--you might want to consider a folding bike.

(It's funny, when I was a kid growing up in the eighties, there used to be after-school specials about how this kind of thing happened in apartheid South Africa.)

POPSRuby Tuesday Blows Up An interesting turn for Ruby Tuesday, abandoning both its past and its planned future in an attempt to avoid the same fate as Bennigan’s. Will “simple, fresh American dining” be enough of a differentiator to lure diners into the revamped chain—and can the advertising change perceptions quickly enough to boost sales performance.
