New York – September 22, 2026 -- Throo, the ride-hailing app that charges drivers a flat $1 per trip instead of a commission, has launched in Denver, its first market outside New York City, three months after debuting in June.

Riders can request a car in Denver using the same throo app, login, and saved payment method they already use in New York. More than 55,000 drivers have signed up to drive with throo in New York City since June.

Denver rides run through a driver-owned cooperative

Denver service is provided by Drivers Cooperative Colorado (COOP), a driver-owned cooperative approved by the State of Colorado and authorized for pickups at Denver International Airport. Riders can be picked up at the terminal and travel anywhere in the metro area.

New York – September 20, 2026 -- A 15-year-old girl riding an electric Citi Bike was struck and killed by a heavy-duty industrial truck in Manhattan's East Village on Friday night, according to a statement released by Bradley Tusk, founder of Tusk Philanthropies.

Tusk says the death comes months after Citi Bike had prepared, following a year of work, to launch an age verification system meant to stop riders under 16 from renting e-bikes. He claims the rollout was scheduled for May but was halted the day before launch on orders from Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Deputy Mayor Julia Kerson.

Sacramento – September 20, 2026 -- Folding bike maker DAHON has unveiled a new engineering methodology called DAHON-V tech, designed to fix a long-standing problem in the folding bike category: frames that flex, hinges that loosen, and drivetrains that buckle under load.

DAHON tested more than 40 bikes to find what separates a flexy folder from a fast one

The company's R&D team ran comparative tests across competitor and in-house models, measuring frame and seatpost rigidity, overall bike stiffness, and dynamic rocking behavior. Dr. David Hon, Founder and CEO of DAHON, said the resulting DAHON-V tech suite combines physics, computerized finite element analysis (FEA), and strain gauges to test the riding stiffness of bike frames.

The camper weighs just 672 pounds and tows behind nearly any vehicle

Production ended nearly a decade ago, but demand never stopped

The original Alite built a loyal following as an ultra-lightweight, easy-to-own camper. Even after Aliner discontinued it, dealers and customers kept asking when it would return, according to Brett Randall, President and CEO of Aliner.
