Why not throw in drinking while you’re at it? And helmets are for little girls. Amazingly enough, this reading caddy isn’t just for stationary bikes. The product page claims that it “mounts in seconds to virtually any road, mountain or stationary bike” and that it helps you to read and train at the same time. All of the danger and stupidity aside, how would you expect a book or magazine to stay on that thing during a turn?

These Kewpie doll cellphone strap decorations serve no purpose, but will strike the perfect cute/badass balance and give you a pretty good idea of what it would look like if the characters from “Love Is…” decided to open a biker bar.

As if you needed another sign that society is headed in the wrong direction, take the stupid products people spend their money on. Every year they get stupider and stupider, but we are right there to spend our hard earned dollar. Why? Because poop never stops being funny and it’s hard to resist a “limited edition.” So, without further ado, here is Part I of the epic master list of the stupidest products of 2009.
Here are the top ten Nerd Approved Gadgets for the week of December 21st-27th, 2009:
Shoe Horn Garden Pot: Grows a useful gadget.
Crazy Monkey: Get your hands off this monkey’s banana.
Motion-Activated Traffic Light Dog Toy: Red means stop chewing on my stuff.
Flickin’ Chicken: It’s like horsehoes, but with chicken choking.
USB Cannon Speaker: Blasts out the music.
Just the thought of grabbing a hamburger should be enough to keep you motivated to ride your bike that last few miles—and this hamburger bell sitting on your handlebars will not fail to remind you. As the old saying goes, every time a burger bell rings, the Hamburglar gets violated in prison.

Here are the top ten Nerd Approved Gadgets for the week of November 9th-15th, 2009:
Reindeer Toilet Seat Cover And Antlers Set: This is what happens to reindeer that don’t make Santa’s team.

Created under the direct supervision of AKIRA creator Katsuhiro Otomo, this Kaneda die-cast bike replica measures 6.3″ H x 19.7″ W and features LED illumination on the front and back wheels, headlights, taillights, blinker, and dashboard. It also includes sound effects, adjustable headlights, a front end that can be raised and lowered and a full, workable suspension. Naturally, a model of this caliber will blow up most budgets. Additional images are available after the break.
Although the product page suggests it, I doubt there are many biker bars out there that would be keen on having a pink scooter mounted on walls normally reserved for neon beer signs and stains. However, I’m sure just by hearing the words “scooter wall decor” there’s at least one demographic that would be all ears, and that would be those who own 1950’s themed diners, or any restaurant that saturates the walls with crazy shit.

Here’s yet another product in the long line of garbage to gadget conversions, this time for the bicycle lover in your life. Presenting a clock made from reclaimed bike chainwheels that tells time, promotes recycling and can stab you. Since many conventional clocks cost more and can only offer a third of that deal, it’s time to get a tetanus shot and clear some prominent wall space, because it’s bargain braggin’ time!

You can choose one of the cute little animal helmet toppers to keep you company on those long bike rides, but the frog and the cat that look like they got plastered to your helmet as you were flying along would be much more fun. They aren’t injured at all, they are just scared to death being stuck up there. These would probably give Lance Armstrong the edge he needs to win one more Tour de France.
