Olympic cyclist Chris Boardman shows off his unique bike design which he not only says will be common in 20 years but is also theft-proof and features puncture-free tires. The futuristic-looking creation boasts a complete carbon fiber body with a built-in locking anti-theft mechanism which can only be activated by the touch of the bike owner’s fingerprints. Addition features include a calorie monitoring system, battery-powered assistance, and aforementioned puncture-free tires that have the ability to self-inflate.
Boardman had this to say:
“It could be built now if there was a will. All the technologies are already there, it’s just that nobody’s put them all together before.”

I think I’ll stick with my Carlton and Peugeot bikes. It looks lovely but where’s the spirit?! You’d look like a tit if you started yelling at that for being a bastard when it came to a hill.

For the first time in years, it make me want to move my lazy ass from the chair and ride around. Really impressive work.

these concept bikes are crazy… i wonder if the style of bikes will ever change from the standard triangular frame.
