Some very cool new products

I like the new Speedplays, the stationary trainer, and the bladder blower.

[Tri Girl]

the "bladder blower" is what got me to click the link and see what the heck it was. Makes sense, and I'd love to have it to keep my bladder mold-free- but not for $40.
Those are some pretty cool new products, tho. How come I can't invent one of those and retire early so I can bike more???

[Zen]

It seems to me a hair dryer with a cool setting would do the same thing

The recharge-while-you-train is an excellent idea, though.

Or rinsing the bladder and throwing it in the freezer.

Nifty idea, but I can think of other ways to spend $40.

Love that trainer charger thingy though. I wonder if they'll offer it to fit other trainer brands?

My freezer has three things in it.

1. Remnants of Slurpees,
2. About a gallon of turkey soup,
3. Camelback bladders

what? No ice cream? Say it ain't so!

[Zen]

Nope.
if it was in the house I'd eat it so no ice cream
When I get a hankering for ice cream I get a cone from McDonald's.
I know, it's not great ice cream but it gets the job done and only costs around a dollar

I'll eat a spoonful of Ben&Jerry's Cherry Garcia for ya.

I'm curious to know what the new Speedplay pedal is like.

Life's too short for bad ice cream. Luckily, we have Braum's. Giant scoops of whatever you like, for less than a buck fifty.

You're hired for the commercial (and the marketing department )!

I took my husband to his first Braum's when we went to Tyler for our anniversary in 2005 (I think). He liked it, wish we had them down in central Texas but then again it is like going to California and having In and Out, it is fun part of travelling.

We like Blue Bell from the little creamery in Brenham, Texas. If only they would be bring back the Bunuelos flavor! I like Cold Stone cinnamon but it is too darn expensive unless they will sell me the kiddie one.

My freezer has some good old American beef straight from a little family ranch, a frozen pizza neither of us will attempt, a tv dinner, some fruit bars I got free at HEB, some fish with freezer burn I keep forgetting to throw out on trash day, beer pilsners chilling for the man and ice in the ice maker.

My bladder sits nicely on the handle of a potato masher until it is dry. Of course this is Utah, where there is no such thing as humidity, so maybe it won't work in places where humans were intended to live.

How would that sound to someone with no knowledge of a Camelbak?

It beats getting out of bed at midnight to pee

[malkin]

It sounds pretty uncomfortable, doesn't it?

At first I wasn't quite sure WHAT we were talking about!

I was thinking about the-b@@bs-on-shifters thread, at first.
