Knife & Saw Bike Shelf
The recent Tour De France has certainly inspired us here at Datscool to think about going cycling. And even purchasing a brand new shiny bicycle. But what happens when you live in a tiny apartment and there is no where to store the new bike without it being stolen or tripped over?
Here is a great solution from Knife and Saw – a groovy solid wood shelf! Not only does it hold your bike, but there’s also room to put what you like on the shelf – be it books or flowers.
It has been designed to fit most bikes with the standard slot size of 1.75? and the clearance needed underneath the topbar at 17? apart is 1.5?. The shelf is suspended by a steel square rod mount and attaches to the wall by sliding and screwing into two wall studs. It comes in two colours: walnut and ash.
Price: USD$270 – $300 + shipping
First ever animated tattoo
There is always something a little cool about tattoos…but now they are more mainstream and accepted by society – is there a way to still stand out and be a little different?
Well, here’s one way! An animated tattoo! How, I hear you ask? A tattoo artist from Paris named Karl Marc, has basically included a QR code into the design. This means that by using a code reader on your iPhone the tattoo comes to life – an animated show. The code has been cleverly incorporated into the design so it still looks a work of art, whilst not ‘animated’.
Very cool….but no recommendations on where to get one as yet!
