Need help figuring out what to do with all those GoPro Hero 3+ cameras you have laying around?

Oh, and if any local dogs happen to dodge out in front of you, just run them over. Viva la MTB.

There’s nothing that sells to fat America like an electric bike. The Interbike 2013 show was littered with all manner of electric powered bicycles, but the ones that seemed to get the most play were the “self-shuttling” downhill and enduro bikes. Like this one from Kranked.
