Keyboard handle bars are all the rage for the geeky cyclers. With mock QWERTY keys (which actually say QWGTSU), these bicycle handles not only provide great grip, but also let you show off your love for all things tech.
The grip handles come in black and white and cost less than $8 with free shipping.
Implications - Geeks are louder and prouder than ever, especially in an age when some of the most famous people alive are billionaire computer geniuses. In this spirit it is definitely a smart move for companies to embrace products that let their consumers celebrate their inner geek. Products like this demonstrate that being a little bit nerdy is definitely not a bad thing, particularly if your a company with a taste for producing popular products.
