Very final news from the Taipei Cycle Show: Horn Bike for iPhone

Listen to the turn-by-turn instructions from your Bike Hub app, iTunes, whatever

Fruitshop International was at the Taipei Cycle Show exhibiting the new Horn Bike handlebar holder for iPhone as part of its Bone Collection of Apple peripherals. The horn part integral to the main body is made from silicon rubber and amplifies the sound from the  smartphone by 18 decibels, according to the company.

No word yet on whether the charming iPhone holder will make it to the UK but Firebox one of our favourite gadget websites is listed as one of the outlets although not on there yet. Meanwhile, the Horn Bike has won IF and red dot designs awards as well as as one from the Taipei Cycle Show itself.

Ah, that is a Strida http://www.strida.com/en/company/ Designed by a very nice Brit called Mark Sanders. They have a following here but are absolutely massive in Japan, Korea, Taiwan etc where there are Strida clubs. Try Googling the images for 'Strida' You'll be amazed.

It is available through Amazon.co.uk - just ordered one - I am sure it will look great on the Charge Steamer, not so sure about running it on the Road Bike but who knows!
