Bike to the future

Throughout the years, we�ve seen many interpretations of futuristic cars but this is probably the first time I�ve seen a conceptualized design of a bike from the future. The above design was unveiled by Olympic cyclist Chris Boardman who firmly believes that this will be available within 20 years. Specs of the bike include:

• Spoke-less wheels where the tires will be puncture-proof and is self-inflating
• Biometric technology such as fingerprint recognition as part of a locking system for the bike
• Mini computer to calculate the amount of calories burnt by the cyclist
• Battery assisted motor using solar power to assist the cyclist in pedaling
  

and even a music system
According to Boardman, all the technology required for this is already available and it�s just a matter of throwing it all together. It doesn�t seem too farfetched considering the revival of cycling arising from the public�s need of a cleaner mode of transportation. I for one can be expected to be in line to buy it when it first comes off the assembly lines.
