A new lightweight electric bicycle with eco-iconic looks is firmly targeting would-be bicycle commuters who are put off by the thought of turning up to work in need of a shower.

Gocycle, set to launch this month, was designed by former F1 design engineer Richard Thorpe, using an injection-molded, lightweight magnesium alloy that's stronger than plastic, at a fraction of the price of carbon fiber. The bike’s chain is completely encased—so no grease on trousers—and side-mounted wheels allow a flat to be changed in a matter of minutes. Gocycle also disassembles into a soft bag or white hard case for portability and easy storage in small apartments.

For a bike of its size and weight, Gocycle’s most innovative feature is the micro-sized electric motor in its front wheel hub, which switches on with the push of a button. An in-frame battery pack holds 20 minutes worth of power; more than enough to help cyclists up a hill without breaking into a sweat.

Supporting its drive to get people to switch from four wheels to two, the company offers a Gocyle-to-Work scheme for companies who wish to provide their employees with a healthier and greener commute. One to bring to urban cyclists—and their employers—across the globe? (Related: Full-service bike station for commuting cyclists.) Read more!

JobberBase

JobberBase

JobberBase  is a new open source PHP/MySQL script using which you can set up a job site (thereby acting as a bridge between the job givers and job seekers).

http://www.jobberbase.com/

What's cool:

1. Simple to use, Nice to look at.
2. RSS Feeds
3. Site-widget to show jobs on other sites.

What's not cool:

1. The web site of the script states 'Post jobs without an account' as a feature, when infact I see it a lack, thereof. Letting anonymous post jobs is akin to welcoming spam (reaching the approver's inbox). Only registered users should be able to post jobs and, if possible, after making a payment via paypal or CC.
2. There's no admin panel. So presently it's not possible to manage the jobs posted or do things like changing the site title or manage the default categories through GUI like you would expect to do in any PHP script.
3. No theme choices.

Requirements:

• PHP 5+
• MySQL 4.1+
• Apache module mod_rewrite should be enabled

Conclusion:

jobberBase is a decent and simple script to get you started with a job site. While it might not have the bells and whistles of a full fledged job portal that you are used to (monster.com, dice.com), it's a step in the right direction for an open source job script. If the developer(s) continue adding features, it will be a big hit.
