The Giz Wiz Show 1696, October 12th 2018 Independent Show #179 

DateOctober 12, 2018 CommentPost a Comment

The Giz Wiz Show is far into it's 13th year of production, and the fourth year of Independent Production! (The very first show was February 20th, 2006.) Thanks to our wonderful Patreon supporters we continue on! If it wasn't for them, the Giz Wiz Show would be gone. If you'd like to support OMGchad & DickDe in our independent venture (we pay for everything ourselves, including travel) just click the Patreon link at the top of our show web page: http://www.gizwiz.tv  You can also contribute just once via the PayPal link that's there too. And thank you for doing that! Our show wouldn't exist without our viewer's support, but a bit more support would be a big help. Thanks from OMGchad & DickDe!)

This week we see three final and unique gadgets from the huge Interbike Show 2018 that took place in Reno, NV. Sept 17 to 20.

 

Meet the Green Guru Commuter Backpack.

 

Green Guru Commuter Backpack - Under $100 (UPDATE: I checked the company website on 10/1/18 and it was $80. I don't if or when it will return to $100.) This rugged backpack is designed with all up-cycled items. What's up-cycled? Something repurposed to a new use, almost in its original form. On this backpack you can keep your goods protected with the stormproof, upcycled bicycle inner tubes that make up the flap of the backpack. There's a huge main compartment, a separate front pocket, plus storage room behind the front pocket. It can be closed with the web strap snap, or for extra waterproofing, the top can be rolled tight and then snapped. The fabric of the backpack is up-cycled waterproof tent material from commercial venues. Even the reflector was originally part of a traffic highway sign! And there's even a loop where you can attach a red signal light to the backpack when wearing this while biking.
