PUYL: Pump Up Your Light Bike Pump – I’m Sold
I’ve got me a bike light, but I have yet to purchase a portable bike pump because it’s just too much gear to tote around with me. The PUYL (I assume it means Pump Up Your Light) is a bike pump and LED light in one. It requires absolutely no batteries to shine your way home since 20 seconds of pumping provides up to 45 minutes of power – brilliant.
Right now it’s a prototype, and its maker, Kai Malte Roever doesn’t seem to have any plans to manufacture it, but given the amount of buzz it’s currently receiving I’d say it’s just a matter of time before we see one of these in REI.
Update: It’s patent pending, so maybe we will see it sooner than later.
