Peloton Shelter Dog
The USE Alien carbon seat post. Worst product in the history of road cycling. I'm convinced aliens actually left it on Earth because they couldn't take it anymore.

If they had them in 700x28, I'd put them on my gravel bike to explode some heads.

I, uh.... have the bell.
It was a present from my boss. My boss rules.
Edit - I just realized I really should install this on my race bike, and use it at the next crit.

The Uberhood is PERECT for our Tucson bike paths! I'm getting one tomorrow.
It should look sharp on my new Madone.

Definitely. Horrible design. Creakiest, slippiest post ever. The seat rail clamping design with the centrally unsupported clamp. One of my riding buddies had one.................for about 2 weeks!

Years ago, one of the stage in the middle of one of the Eco-Challenge Race involved a mountain biking and one team member had hurt his/her knee (it was too swollen to peddle) during the previous stages so the team rigged something similar to the bicycle bungee and the team went on to finish the race.

What about the Sound From Wind? This must qualify.

Okay, waaaaiiiiiit a minute. That Wind Sound playable handlebar instrument thing is pretty effing cool! I'd probably get sick of it after a few rides, but that looks like a pretty cool idea. That would be a fun way to pass the time during the boring parts of a long ride. Plus, it would be a fun way to take your mind off of a brutal head-wind.
And it doesn't look dangerous or anything, so I like this one.
