Even the most efficient LED bike lights eventually require a new set of watch batteries. This week, the bicycle accessory company Bookman released the first USB-rechargeable version of its minimal, single LED bike light to the relief of night cyclists worldwide. The USB model costs an extra €20, but when you consider the shopping time plugging a light into your laptop for a few hours versus tracking down CR2032 batteries in drug stores, they're not a bad deal. 

The lights come in pairs of two in four colors, each one perfect for a new Martone



One would hope cyclists wouldn't eschew helmet-wearing simply because of the hassle of toting one around once the bike is parked. But the foldable helmet from Carrera is designed with that very concern in mind, giving us one less excuse for going helmetless. Boasting a collapsable frame with an elastic fitting system, the helmet is meant to be closed like an accordion and stored in a bag when not in use. Carrera recently introduced a premium version that comes paired with matching sunglasses and features leather accents and a matte finish.

Throw one in your bag after your first ride on a men's or women's Martone bicycles, now in the Nothing Major shop.
