# Biker-Misting Machines The Q-FOG Instantly Cools Sweaty Cyclists By Michael Hines | Published 2013-06-04 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-qfog References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/q-fog-personal-mist/27752/) & [indiegogo](http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/world-s-first-spray-device-for-cyclists) The Q-FOG is a new gadget that is meant to help cool down hot cyclists. It was brought to life by a design team from Israel who more likely than not like to ride their bikes in all kinds of weather. The simple device attaches to a bicycle's handlebars and emits a [cooling spray](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooling-body-mists) (more like a mist) of water when activated. The Q-FOG ensures that cyclists won't pour water on themselves to cool down, thus wasting the hydrating and life-giving good stuff. Just a few presses is all it takes to completely soak the torso, so a [full bottle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bottle-bottle) should be more than enough to last a rider a day. The Q-FOG is currently seeking $70,000 of funding on Indiegogo. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Cycling Cooling Gadgets:** There's an opportunity for other inventors to create unique gadgets to keep cyclists cool during rides. - **Outdoor Activity Gadgets:** The Q-FOG shows there's demand for gadgets to help improve outdoor activities in all weather conditions. - **Reusable Hydration Gadgets:** The use of Q-FOG's misting system can inspire the creation of reusable hydration gadgets and accessories. ### Who This Affects Most - **Sports and Recreation:** Industries focusing on sports and recreation equipment can incorporate innovative features similar to Q-FOG's misting system. - **Outdoor Industry:** The Q-FOG's success highlights an opportunity for companies in the outdoor industry to improve products that can cater to people's needs in diverse weather conditions. - **Sustainability Industry:** With the potential for more reusable gadgets spawned by Q-FOG's technology, the sustainability industry has the opportunity to explore the market for sustainable materials in outdoor sport equipment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mist-Powered Cooling Fans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ego-power-misting-fan.md) - [Wearable Air Conditioners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qoola.md) - [High-Power Cooling Neckbands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neck-cooler.md) - [Running Cooling Mist Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooling-mist-1.md) - [Sweat-Blocking Cyclist Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rockbros-bike-sweat-guard.md) - [Multipurpose Misting Fans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-flex-breeze-fan.md) - [Wearable Air Conditioning Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coolify-air.md) - [Personal Air Conditioners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silent-cicada.md) - [Cooling Outdoor Neckbands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coolify-2s.md)
