Paying to fly with a bike is a bitch. I remember getting stung for £250 just to make sure my Volume was on the same flight back to CT as me. As a way to get around the extortionate luggage charges, the guys Kinfolk have created The International Bike, which is fitted with S&S couplers to allow cyclists to carry their bike as carry-on luggage.
In pieces – with enough space to fit your Duty Free shopping:
And assembled:
An old-fashioned wicker basket is cool if that’s your thing. But if you’re after something a bit more urbane, then Bike Porter integrated handlebar and basket is likely to be right up your strasse.
The first product from Copenhagen Parts, Bike Porter is constructed from lightweight and robust alloy tubing, and installs just like any normal handlebar using A-head stem.

We’ve seen U-locks used as a deadly weapon, but this add-on is a little more practical.
The Monkey Likes Shiny U-lock tool slots onto the end of your U-lock, saving you the hassle of carrying a 15mm hex spanner.
Other cool things about it:
- Designed for deep drop outs
- weighs 20g lighter then a 15mm Craftsman wrench
- 100% USA made by a very recognised machine shop
- Chrome tools are chromed by one of the most most recognised names in chroming (Harley is their other customer)
- Broached Hex for the perfect socket fit on the axle nuts
- The production pieces will be die stamped (like a coin) with an everlasting imprint of the “15mm”.
- Patent Pending
- OnGuard Bulldog locks replaces one yellow cap
- Fits Evo and Gray Kryptonite locks
According to the guys at DSC, “these Nitto B123 bars… are a homage to architect, visionary and icosahedron botherer, Buckminster Fuller.”
