Apple “Smart” Bike
Posted By: Whollys Staff Filed Under: Technology
Apple seems to be planning on taking over everything. Take a good look into their newest project! The Apple “Smart” Bike.
The main idea is that Apple wants to enable bike riders to share information with each other about traffic or routes via 3G Internet connections as they go along. Riders will even be able to retrieve directions from Google Maps if they get lost.
Apple’s patent is about using a new iPod or iPhone system primarily on a bike so that they could share information with other cyclists riding in a group. It could also provide feedback to cyclists regarding their performance or the performance of other cyclists with whom they are riding.
In some embodiments, this could be applied to users of other types of vehicles (e.g., motorcycles, automobiles, or trucks) or other modes of transportation (e.g., walking, running, horseback riding, or transportation using any other animal). Although many features described in the patent could be in the context with a bicycle or cycling embodiment, it will be understood that the features or descriptions can be applied to any suitable vehicle or mode of transportation.
Cyglo LED Tires
Posted By: Whollys Staff Filed Under: Design
Make bike riding at night 10x funner and safer with UK designer James Tristram Cyglo LED Tires.
How does the LED tires work at night?
“Switched using a motion sensor within the tyre, high powered, tough and durable LED bulbs are built into the tread or wall of the tyre and can either flash or be permanently on, so when the wheel turns at any speed, a perfect ring of light is formed whilst continually and perpetually creating it’s own power.
Manufacturing bicycle tyres with LED lights already built in has significant benefits, not least that pedal cycles become aligned with all road vehicles by having permanent running lights on day and night to maximise visibility regardless of lighting conditions.”
Not only is this a good idea for safety. It seems like so much fun!

Bendable Bike

21 year old British designer Kevin Scott designs this amazing bendable bike concept. Kevin used a ratchet system built into the frame of the bike to allow it to wrap around a pole, enabling the lock to be wrapped through both wheels and the frame. The whole bike bends to lock onto itself. It goes from being a normal bike to ride to being able to fold completely. The concept keeps thieves from stealing your ride!
