Abstract: A bicycle handlebar accessory (or bicycle pod) 20 is disclosed which may be secured in a bicycle handlebar tube 24 and arranged into a deployed configuration 500. A host bicycle 10 with a pair of bicycle pods 20 secured in opposite ends of the handlebar tube 24 may be inverted for inspection or repairs while the bicycle pods 20 stabilize the inverted bicycle and keep the handlebar 24 (and any accessories mounted thereon) spaced from the ground 26 and away from potentially hazardous materials and conditions, including water, ice, frozen or super-heated pavement, sand, gravel, or other surface hazards such as road salt or deicing chemicals. The disclosed bicycle pod 20 may include a main body 28, a distal shaft 30, a proximal shaft 32, and a coil spring 34.

Abstract: A device for the prevention of cooking boilover is disclosed. The device is placed on a cooking vessel while in use to disrupt building surface tension in a boiling liquid, and thus reduce or eliminate the tendency for the cooking vessel to boil over. The device for the prevention of cooking boilover (“boilover preventer”) has a first supporting member and a second supporting member with a center portion joined to each supporting member and having a generally concave upper surface with holes there through.
