Think Knog are trying too hard with the overall marketing concept about
veal farms and Lily Allen. Isn't it about nifty bicycle accessories? Oh
sorry, it's *branding*. Silly me.

Lily Allen FTW!

I did find one catalogue that lists it at £210! A bit rich for my blood.

If it's more than $200 I'd be getting an Ay-Up instead. If it's less
though, might be worthwhile getting one. The totally contained design
with no mounting clamp left on the bike is great too.

Didn't require google-fu while watching the tail-end of the news
segment, the design (and the designers name) instantly made me think of
Knog. Do like the tasty asymmetric design, although I'd have to see the
Gator to make a assessment over possibly choosing it over other light
systems (ie: currently looking around for a Vista replacement)

for what it's worth, I'm a big fan of the ay-up lights, they've
replaced my old vistas. The bar mount is the best I've seen - it
doesn't eat much real-estate, while the knog one uses a -lot- of your
bars.

Some great looking stuff there. Love the look of the handlebar bag
although without seeing prices I still suspect it is all a bit out of
budget for me.

Do you even know how much one of those Australian Design Awards costs. Oh,
you thought they were free?

I saw on television that an Australian designed LED bike lamp has just
been one of the winners of an Australian design award. I Googled for
it and got this:http://www.enews.standards.org.au/ca...&contentid=131

I didn't catch the name/make of the lamp though. Does anyone know
which one it was... and where we can get one?

Never having come across the phrase "google-fu" before it took me a
moment to get it, on my first reading I imagined it said in a Mr T
voice...

Shut up fu!
