Olympic monowheel bicycles for sale

Now you can get your grubby little paws on one of those interesting looking but no doubt hard to steer monowheel bikes from the Olympics this year.

The monowheels, called Monovelo (which we think is Chinese for "Monowheel"), will set you back about $1700.  But no doubt they are collectible, since these are the actual bikes that were used in the ceremonies.   No word if the LED lights are included, so Caveat Emptor if you are considering a purchase based on the visual aesthetics, other than the visual treat that you would be riding around in one freakishly big bicycle wheel.

12V car microwave lets you enjoy hot snacks on the go

Have a need to eat on the run, but a drive thru isn't on the route?  Then you might find that the  12V In-Car Microwave Oven is just what you need.  The small microwave is designed to work in an automobile, and features include:

  • Compact and portable
  • Fast cooking speeds
  • Powered via 12V cigarette lighter socket or direct to car battery – both leads supplied
  • Robust steel construction with heavy-duty handle
  • LED screen with touchscreen operation
  • Up to 660W power via direct to battery connection and 175W via cigarette lighter socket

So there you have it, a capable little microwave to heat up your pop-tarts as you drive (yeah, most people use a toaster for their pop-tarts, but I like them microwaved).  Just be sure that you let the passengers do the cooking, before we have an act of Congress prohibiting the practice of culinary skills while operating a motor vehicle (a CWD, perhaps?).
