A cycling-gear review site built around real riding, repair-bay experience, and hands-on measurement.

Why it surfaced

CyclePerch says its 12-year bike mechanic tests gear across 15,000 km a year, using a homemade integrating sphere for bike-light lumens, a surveyed GPS loop, a foam pad for sit-bone widths, and a chain-wear gauge. That unusually concrete testing language gives its large collection of buying guides more personality than the usual copied-spec affiliate catalog.

Thirty Patents for the Grave

August 13’s newborn domains include 30 safety-coffin patents, lost notices for false teeth and a box of hair, short films playing in 100 Tokyo taxis, and a Queensland river view arranged gauge by gauge downstream.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-13 Domain Arrivals issue.
