Riding with cold fingers really sucks.  These lobster style riding gloves from Pearl Izumi are so fantastic because they’re warm and convertible.  The unique finger hoodies give you added warmth (tuck away in the back-of-hand pocket), and the option for full finger dexterity when needed.  Retail $45

Every company appears to be claiming green these days, but not all walk the walk. Regen, a startup in San Francisco, aims to create truly sustainable products — mainly consumer electronics — that power themselves using light. A charged Renu panel can recharge an iPhone in the same amount of time as a standard wall outlet and also power other Regen devices such as the sound dock and the side light.
