I love riding bikes. I rode bikes as a kid, like everyone else, but I started again as an adult when I hit my mid-50s and health problems started rising. I quickly became addicted.

Last year, I reviewed the PlugBug from Twelve South. It is a 10W USB charger that can be used alone or as a replacement for the power prongs on a MacBook power brick. When I purchased mine last year, the PlugBug was only available with US-style power prongs. The new PlugBug World still offers a

The iXY has “24-bit/96k
