I have just found this site:
http://www.designboom.com/design/ecals-clever-bicycle-accessories/#.UW_g4ophvgM.twitter
Scrolling down that page, there is a video showing all the different designs.

Oh! Nicely found, Tartalo!
This will keep me busy looking and thinking for awhile...
I love the designs, but have some serous concerns about the safety aspects wrt clearances (if the bottle-brush spray deflector catches the tire, or the presta valve cap hangs up on the brake blocks --! :o) and there seems to be some Magic involved (the bungee "tire chains" go from being draped over the tire by the rider to trapped between tire and rim! ;D) and the linked front/rear brakes scare me to death but I applaud the clean design and execution.
Despite the practical drawbacks, they all remain wonderfully entertaining design exercises and it is always nice to see minds at work on fresh ideas. I especially liked the zip-tie bell where the ringer is the tie-end.
Fun stuff to see!
Best,
Dan. (...who wonders how the wheelying rider in the video managed to stop safely with no front wheel!)
