Cat-Ears AirStreamz™, decrease wind noise and hear your surroundings.


Always working to improve an already functional and great product. 



Cat-Ears are a device you place on the helmet straps of your cycling helmet. The devices hinders the sound of the air as you move. Buffering the sound of the air then allows you to hear the sound of cars, other cyclists, etc. The device is easy to place on your helmet straps, taking under a minute. A minor adjustment may be needed to make sure they are in front of your ear.
I have them on both my road and mountain bike helmets.  
The effectiveness of the AirStreamz™ doing their job correctly stems from your helmet and straps being worn properly. Placing the AirStreamz™ on your helmets straps greatly reduces wind noise, allowing you to hear fellow riders or traffic around you, keeping you ultimately safer. I have found they are most effective when your helmets strap is on the inside the temple. They are hand-made in Boulder, Colorado, USA and are a must for any cyclist of any age, road riders or mountain bike riders. They are washable by hand and best dried by just placing flat letting them air dry. The pile material is soft.  




Cat-Ears are the worlds best selling noise reducing product for cycling.  The product is even 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed. 


Cat-Ears are highly researched and a proven product AirStreamz™is out and available to everyone. 


These devices simply attach with the Velcro® strips sewn on the inside. The two AirStreamz™ are not left or right helmet side specific, and full detailed instructions on how to install them are on the package. They fold around your helmet strap placing them right in front of your ear. I see a lot of people, first off with their helmets not fitted or strapped on properly. 









A couple years ago now, my family and I traveled to Boulder, Colorado, home of Cat-Ears.  While there my family and I got a tour of the facility where they not only hand make the cycling helmet devices but test and research improving the product. 




*There are other products like this on the market but they give false claims. Cat-Ears are scientifically tested and improved on. It's one to say things about your product, but Cat-Ears has data that can back their product up.

Valley Bike Month


I participated this past April in Valley Bike Month, I mean how could I not. Even with the hotter than normal weather, I commuted to work a bunch last month. A benefit from riding to work was a prize of a pair of socks. Who could't use a sweet pair of socks? 


They finally arrived in the mail last week. They are nice socks, the Sock Guy brand. Not bad for helping clean the air on the commute to work and do something I would have done or enjoy anyhow. I will have to remember this next April during Bike Month and sign up for the promotion they have going.

the Oi from KNOG w/ video


The "Oi" from KNOG 
"Oi" translates to "HEY"



There is a hidden spacer in the packaging to help it fit on smaller bar sizes. Look behind this plastic piece before discarding the package. 






Many states or countries have laws requiring a bell or signaling device on bicycles that ride on the road or with traffic.  The Oi bicycle bell by KNOG is a sleek designed bell. This computer numerical controlled machined bell, size large fits bars 23.8mm  to 31.8mm bars. They do make a small version to fit bars 22.2mm, but that is not the bell I have. The metal part, noise making part of the bell, is suspended by a few springs inside. The bell comes with all necessary tools, a hex key and spacers, if needed, to install it on your handle bars. There are two nicely spaced places on the bottom of the Oi allowing for brake and gear cables to run smoothly along the underside of the bell.  Many states or countries have laws requiring a bell or signaling device on bicycles that ride on the road or with traffic. 

Listen to the tone in the video below.
