The world's smallest bike carrier

Born in a 3D printer, financed via Kickstarter and now unleashed on cyclists: The small, colorful "Clug" part sets out to attach bikes to the wall in an uncomplicated and simple way - be it racing bikes or mountain bikes.

Fixed to the wall with two screws, the "Clug" is ready to take a firm grip on the front tire. Three sizes are available and the manufacturer promises to be suitable for almost all tire sizes, from road bike to mountain bike dimensions.

In terms of commercialization, the "Clug" makers are focusing on direct marketing via their own website, but they are also working with distributors and specialist dealers. Specialist retailers are already up and running in Germany and Austria, but no sales outlets have yet been listed for Switzerland.In the summer of 2014, "Clug" raised over 100,000 dollars on Kickstarter for its initial funding, although only 30,000 dollars were planned. For five dollars during the Kickstarter phase, people received the 3D printing data to make their own "Clug", and now the clever holder is available for delivery.
