We’ve been using Tenkara Rod Co’s ultralight fly fishing rods since the brand first came out and swear by them. While the Beartooth is our go-to recommendation, the all-new made-in-Japan Hafu 240 (12.5″, 1.5 oz, 7′ 10″) and 300 (12.5″, 2.4 oz, 9’10”) rods look like they’ll be our new favorite. Tenkara launched a Kickstarter last week for these new rods, so if you’re looking for a new Tenkara rod or to give it a try for the first time, you gotta check it out…
Keeping your bikes organized in your home, apartment, office, or while on the road usually requires many different solutions. Wall hooks, ceiling-suspended racks, and cheap stands from eBay or Amazon certainly do the trick, but I’ve never seen something as well designed as the AhHa Toaster for all the above bike storage solutions.
This unique bike rack folds from flat into a sturdy, secure 5-bike rack, designed to fit up to 2.6″ tires, and still fold down to be tucked away under a bed, behind a desk, or even in the trunk of your car, your van, or road-trip mobile.
Last week I took delivery of the AhHa Toaster and immediately put it to use in my home office where I stash my vintage bikes, so let’s check it out in detail below.

Cosmic Dirt is a new apparel company that just launched a Kickstarter Campaign to raise liquidity to fund its ambitious apparel project: design and manufacture MTB and outdoor clothing in sizes from XS – 4x. If you have friends who are bigger-bodied, then you know their struggle to find apparel that fits them properly. Grading in clothing can be expensive and time-consuming, so your support can help Cosmic Dirt do it right! See more at the Kickstarter…
Bags. We love them. Especially ones that are a little different from other offerings. This Edinburgh, UK-based Kickstarter campaign was sent to us and we felt like you’d want to see it. The Stac Pack is a hip bag or a sling bag with multiple uses. Check out the launch video above and if you’re into this bag, see more at the Kickstarter campaign.
The Makers in Motion Camera Strap is a cycling camera strap designed to make taking photos on and off your bike quick, seamless, and secure.

Shift Cycling Culture is working on a film called ‘Cracked Earth’ and the campaign to fund the project has just been listed on Kickstarter. Here’s a synopsis:
Cracked Earth won’t beat around the bush. Because we no longer can. Climate change is not a future threat; it’s our generation’s reality. The film captures the lives of cyclists in vulnerable areas around the world who share their love for the bike, but also their concern about the current state of their homeland – and its ever more uncertain future.
Cyclists just like you.

Without trail working tools, our favorite trails would exist in disarray. Sometimes packing a full kit into the backcountry can be cumbersome and a new Kickstarter looks to rectify that. The GRIP N RIP Dirt Tool Set features everything you’d need to work dirt in a compact and lightweight package.

As you can imagine, mounting your $1000 cell phone to your bike can be pretty unnerving and that’s why you need a good, secure system. Peak Designs has developed an Out-Front and Universal bike mount, using their new Slimlink system. Check out their Kickstarter video here and see more at their campaign website.
I must say, we get sent A LOT of Kickstarter campaigns over here at the Radavist but this one is one of the most unique ideas I’ve seen:
“CHOKA is an airtight bicycle brand from the Pyrenees created by to bike fanatics: Claire and Joel both independent industrial designers. We want to create simple, playful, and durable bicycles with a little extra in case of a flat tire.
We dream of a better world, without disposable CO2 cartridges but with a lighter and more efficient solution than hand pumps. In 2018, for the Concours de Machines, we designed and built a prototype with Yoann, Menhirs frame builder. It that has been turning heads: we welded our frame airtight to use it as an air reserve. We can then inflate our tires and even set up tubeless!”

Surely, if you read this website, you love nature and animals of all kinds. PUKE is a film our friend Foster Huntington worked on, documenting a group of people who collect owl pellets for money… This project is on Kickstarter and there are some great promotional products like a VHS and t-shirts up for grabs, so if this looks interesting to you, and you have the means to, head over and back this film.
It’s not every day we see a new handlebar bag design that causes pause. The Route Werks Handlebar bag is live on Kickstarter and it has a bunch of neat features, which you can find out all about by watching this video and heading over to their Kickstarter…
