"The bike of the future"

I wouldn't even think of buying one until it had integrated indicator lights

You'll have to provide your own tragic hipster accessories.

This needs a follow up sketch...

Nah, it would take them about a minute to work out how to get the high score without the brush going anywhere near their teeth.

I didn't want to mention the possible teledildonics applications...

There's a word I look forward to seeing in the next OED.

So I would ride to work, and on the A38 bit the handlebars would basically always be vibrating. Nice.

I dont know, think about it as massage therapy to prevent aching shoulders and wrists. TBH the vibration thing should extend to the seat as well.

On a more practical note - does it have integrated lights, options for mudguards, racks etc. And where is the G meter and the electric motor for when you are tired.

What does the panel think of this?

"Garbage" by "Designer".  Again.

I look forward to the day when "The Bike of the Future" appears in the form of "Bicycle" by "Cyclist" but I'm not holding my breath.

My "bike of the future" will look something like this:

OK, perhaps "future bike" is more accurate.  (Well, as some point in the future.)  And it's more sensible/practical than the OP.

I also despair of technology being deployed unnecessarily.

Blue Teeth?

• SmartSeries features Bluetooth 4.0 technology that connects to the Oral-B App** and provides real-time guidance to track your results, customise your brushing and provide entertainment.

Oh. My. Days.

Might encourage kids to brush their teeth properly, thobut.

Only for 3 or 4 days, then it'll be back to the usual 'regime'

I've already got my bike of the future

I've been playing with adding iBeacon functionality to my Dahon... That gives me 

- BLE iBeacon
- accelerometer
- temperature sensor

with a nifty 3D printed mount for attaching the beacon to the handlebars.

Right now I'm just using the accelerometer to sense motion and kick off recording a GPS track on my mobile. When the ride is over (I check a few different things to figure this out) I prompt to (optionally) upload the track to Strava / Garmin Connect etc.

A cheaper way to make a smart bike

I think 'there' is already in it?

Bicycles in the future will have pink wheels.
