Olympic cyclist Chris Boardman unveiled a design that he believes will be an everyday product within 20 years. The 40-year-old said the technology was already available, it just needed the will to put it all together.The new bike includes an inbuilt computer system incorporating an 'unbreakable' locking device that allows only the owner to open it via fingerprint recognition. It will count calories as you pedal, play music and use a solar-powered motor when you get tired - welcome to the commuter bike of the future. (via Dailymail.co.uk)
During the past year I noticed there's been a fixed gear (or fixie) phenomenon that has taken over the “underground” or stylish bike scene with the hipsters. You know the kids that ride around on their flimsy bikes with rolled up skinny jeans, grunge shirt, back pack, and a beanie. I've been wanting to buy one myself but I'm not too into the style. However I'll definitely buy this one when it comes out and ride around wearing Calvin Klein F/W 09 suits.
