Honda made a self-balancing motorcycle
Honda put some of their ASIMO robot technology into a new motorcycle prototype. The tech is called Riding Assist and it allows the bike to keep itself upright without a rider and also drive itself around. Pretty cool!
Hilarious video of a group of guys trying to free a bike from an electric fence
This is the funniest video I've seen lately. The laughter and comments from every person involved is hilarious.
You can ride a continuous 9-mile bike path from Brooklyn to The Bronx now
I didn't make this connection at first, but apparently with the recent completion of the Chrystie Street bike lane, there is now a continuous 9-mile bike lane route from Brooklyn all the way to the Bronx. I've biked on every single part of this stretch of bike lane and it is always fun to do because you pass by so much of NYC at a leisurely pace. Spectacular views of the East River as well as an option to venture into Randall's Island (and then into the Bronx).
By the way, if you don't already know, you can download the NYC Bike Map here.

How do they do those shots in the mirror without the camera?
