The stunning Cannondale CERV bike is a radical chainless, forkless design that features a dynamically adjustable headset that moves both fore/aft & up/down, putting the rider in an optimal position based on terrain. The headset translates forward & down for a clean, low-drag position when descending. When climbing, it moves up & back, creating an upright position for maximum leverage on the crank. It's all made possible by an ingenious single-sided swing arm in place of a traditional fork.

Ford Europe's new strategy with American cars
Few weeks before the Paris Motor Show, Honda Engine Co. has taken the wraps off of much of its new collection for Europe in an effort to coast up its initiatives for European traders. The webcast media meeting from Amsterdam finished with the official statement that the Dearborn, Michigan-based car manufacturer will formally make the mustang available for Autobahn operates and cobble stone street drifting.
"We'll have more Informations on the mustang coming to Europe later this year," CEO Alan Mulally said, as he was standing before a audience of more than 2,500 traders, enthusiasts and media reporters. More people viewed him and other key Ford professionals promote the organization's faster plans to present more international automobiles to Europe.
The last Country has been problematic for last few years as its at stagnant economic system has cost car manufacturers enormous amounts. Ford lost $404 million in Europe in the second quarter of 2012 and desires Western countries to keep move down the organization's international success in the near future. But instead of going on the protecting, Ford has released its own path to success, Mulally said. The company can't like to try the same old formulas.
"Six decades ago, we developed our One Ford strategy," Mulally said, "Now, we're providing that strategy to Western countries."
The unique Honda strategy involved a product blitzkrieg in The united states based on many Western designed automobiles such as the Ford Fiesta, Focus and Transit Connect. Now, to take advantage of many successful United states products, this indicates those are intended to Western countries, this time as the Ford Kuga, Edge and Mondeo (built off of the Escape, Edge and Fusion platforms platforms).

Forever Moving Trains
Inspired by the infrastructure of the internet, Moving Platforms is a completely interconnected rail system where local trams connect to a network of non-stop high speed trains enabling passengers to travel from their local stop to a local address at their destination (even another country) without getting off a train. Sounds far out right?! Hit the jump and watch the interview with the designer to see how it works!
Moving Platforms involves a network of high speed trains that run non-stop between two ends of a continent, Los Angeles to New York for instance. The high speed trains run on a line that passes outside towns and cities with a network of local feeder trams that carry passengers from local stops out to meet them. As they near each other, the high speed train slows down slightly and the tram speeds up alongside it, at which point the trains physically connect via a docking system allowing passengers to transfer directly across from the tram to the high speed train and vice versa.
Once transfers are complete, the trains separate, with the high speed train speeding up again along its route, and the tram slowing down and going back into the town or city centre with the newly disembarked passengers.
The tram, in effect, acts as a moving station. The same system could also be used by passengers transferring from one high speed train to another.

eBay online car sale: 1975th year Chevy Cosworth Vega with just 291 miles
In 1970, General motors vice president John DeLorean desired more energy for the Chevy division's Vega. After five years of growth, the Cosworth Vega was born. Sometime that season, somebody in Farmington, Ill. purchased Cosworth Vega No. 1,094 of 2,061 vehicles designed that season and quickly saved it away.
After modifying arms several periods, such as in 2000 for $9,500 then again a few decades later for $28,600 at a Mecum public auction, No. 1094 is again available to a new proprietor. The eBay motors Buy-It-Now cost from RK Engines of Currently, NC is $34,900 – no little ask.
However, this is quite probably the smallest kilometers, most breathtaking 1975 Cosworth Vega extant. The odometer reveals only 290 kilometers, and the silk dark colour is all unique. Within, the floor looks manufacturer clean, and the engine-turned frame around the equipment gleams like the day it was blessed.
Even if you're not a Cosworth Vega fan, examine out our collection for a fast journey returning to 1975.
