hey, I bought some bonkers Showa-like gloves in a shop in Japan, never seen them over here.
they are unbelievable warm thanks to the fleecy lining, have great grip, and very waterproof.
I haven't used them, would you be interested? 20 quid should take em.they look just like this (maybe they are the same)

I'm interested if you don't get another taker - and they fit my 9.5UK-ish feet

I have a Koga Miyata TwinTraveller, it's so easy to transport.
Folding/Unfolding takes me under a minute.
I don't have a car so have taken it on almost every train company in the UK with my better half.
It rides well, the folding doesn't compromise the handling or comfort at all.
Best bike-related purchase I ever made? Probably
Hard to find in the UK but lots on marktplaats.nl, I used an EU man with van to bring it over to me. -

the only recent innovation has been advanced mirrorless cameras. that was hardly revolutionary. these cameras are still clunky and have notable issues. heat management and poor viewfinder UX being the most common.
mirrorless tech has enabled some new features such as face-detect AF which can be helpful in certain conditions.
PF lenses are a great forward development that most people have slept on.
everything else cranks along very incrementally, of course. if you read about diffraction you will understand certain constraints on sensor/camera/lens design better.
computational photography is just a posh word for automatic settings on an iPhone being more agressive than before. people who are "into" photography don't tend to like it but the people buying the phones do.
the great innovation of the late 2000s was HD video in DSLRs, most notably in the 5D MkII, which by vastly lowering the price point of entry helped launch many young cinematographers' careers. this was far more revolutionary than anything we've seen recently.
