Xtracycle’s EdgeRunner: The Range Rover of the Bike World

feel like you have too much cargo and not enough bike? The EdgeRunner from Xtracycle will take care of that. This handy bicycle combines the functionality of a baby seat with the practicality of a baby seat and a passenger seat, and on top of that, there’s a built-in bike rack as well! Referred to as “an easy to ride sport-utility vehicle,” the EdgeRunner allows you to do everything an SUV can, except you know, things like going on the highway beyond 50 miles per hour.

You can even model the EdgeRunner exactly to your liking because it comes in two sizes, three models, and four super fresh frame colors. “The EdgeRunner completely reinvents the cargo bike, with its low cargo platform, upright yet efficient ride-position, 100 percent chromoly step-through frame, and complete line of cargo and family specific accessories,” reads the press release.

So skip the car, save money on gas and help out the environment all at the same time with the EdgeRunner. Someone actually called it the “Range Rover of the bike world,” so make all your biker friends envious. Get loads of groceries, cart your kids or your friends on it and get some exercise at the same time!

If you want to have a little fun with the EdgeRunner, you can try and  reenact that Portlandia skit with it. This bike would prob do a much better job than Carrie and Fred did with their bikes!

Beginner’s guide to cigar shapes and sizes — and why they matter
Why your cigar choice says more about you than your watch (and how to pick the perfect one)
A collection of cigars

Walking into a cigar shop and facing what seems like a million options is enough to make anyone panic. Cigars stacked everywhere, each with a strange name, size, and a slightly different shape from the last one. If you haven't done this before, it's tempting to just grab something, anything, and run!But hold on a second. Those shapes actually matter. They aren't just there to look fancy or make things confusing. The size and shape change the whole experience of smoking that cigar – how it tastes, burns, and feels. It's kind of like how driving a tiny sports car is way different than driving a big truck. Both get you where you're going, but the experience along the way is not the same.

Every new Game of Thrones spinoff explained
George R.R. Martin's television world continues to grow
Matt Smith starring in House of the Dragon

When it first aired on HBO in the early 2010s, Game of Thrones dazzled audiences with revolutionary special effects and terrific acting in a unique fantasy world. Based on author George R.R. Martin's series of novels, the universe depicts the battles between several different noble families as they try to climb to the top of the continent of Westeros, both politically and figuratively. The war scenes, family drama, and massive number of characters helped make the story feel fresh and new every time a new episode aired.

As Martin's attention shifted to television and away from his books, fans have looked to the TV series to finish some of the stories he couldn't finish on the page. Game of Thrones left fans wanting more, despite its poorly received finale, and a plethora of spinoffs are on the way. House of the Dragon already has two seasons completed, and there are several others in the coming years to look forward to.
House of the Dragon
House of the Dragon finished its second season in 2024. The show chronicles the heated family dynamics of the Targaryen empire almost two centuries before the events of Game of Thrones. The third season should pick up the civil war between Queen Rhaenyra's forces and King Aegon's after a slow-building conflict throughout the second act.
