The idea is to take smartphone technology on the road with a new smart bike concept, which will even feature a rear view camera. The technology will be centered around a smartphone that will attach to the handlebars with a magnetic mount. The phone will control the bike's components, which will include a WiFi/Bluetooth module and four laser projectors that will delineate a bike lane, and also display the real-time video stream from the camera mounted on the rear of bike.

The new bike lock will help discourage bike theft by disengaging the bike's steering system, making it a bit harder for thieves to 'snip, grab and ride.' The system will be integrated into the bike's stem, where it will be locked or locked by a key. The system will be securely fastened for riding, but a simple turn of a key will disconnect the handlebar stem from the fork--making it impossible for anyone to steer the bike. In addition to deterring thieves, the handlebar...

The air purifier bike concept will let riders clean the air as they ride by filtering out pollutants and creating oxygen. The concept bike will be equipped with an air filter between the handle bars that will screen pollutants and dust and an oxygen-producing "photosynthesis system" that will include a water tank, electric motor and a battery. As the bike is being ridden, air will be forced through the filter and cleaned, allowing fresh air to flow onto the cyclist. The...

A personal mister will help cyclists keep cool while biking during the hot days of summer. The device will attach to the bike's handlebars and feature a user-controlled spray mechanism. Triggering the spray will draw water from the 100-ml reservoir and send a fine mist over the cyclist with each click. Three or four clicks per minute will be enough to completely moisten the torso and create a cooling effect. The device will be removed from the handlebars with a quick release, and...

The projector will make night biking safer by illuminating potholes and textures in the road ahead. The projector will improve bike safety during night riding by projecting an array of square grids onto the ground just in front of the bike. The grid design will deform on the rough surface of the road, making it easier for the rider to pick out obstacles ahead, such as sudden potholes and bumps. In contrast, a traditional bike lamp will often cast shadows on the concave and convex...

A pedal-powered generator with a removable battery will be designed to power smartphones or other USB devices. The generator will be lightweight, low-profile and easy to install on most standard bicycle frames. Its magnetic rotors will harness the kinetic energy of the moving bike, sending the charge either directly to a USB device or storing it in the detachable battery pack. The 500mA charge rate generated by the generator will be the same as the USB 2.0 output from a computer,...

The device will increase the odds of recovering a stolen bike by sending location information to a smartphone or computer. Discreetly designed to blend with the water bottle carrier, the device will include a GPS, built-in antenna and on-board accelerometer. Once the device has been activated, it will send an alert to the user if the bike is taken beyond the user-specified boundary, increasing the chances of tracking it down. The device's three-axis accelerometer will also detect a...

Bike computers are becoming more popular. The idea is to create a remote control to make them more accessible as well. The remote will be designed to work with a bike computer. It will mount to either side of the handlebars and feature three buttons and six functions easily accessed by a thumb, allowing the user to keep their hands safely on the handlebars.

The new bike helmet concept will increase biker safety by embedding turn signals into the helmet itself. The helmet system will work via Bluetooth and feature arrow-shaped "turn signals" that will illuminate when the rider triggers a button on the handlebars. A bright forward-facing light and a red rear light will provide added illumination at night.

The idea is to put the bike light inside the handlebar stem, ensuring it's always there when you need it. The light will be enclosed within an aluminum stem that can fit most bikes. The stem will hold an array of ten LEDs that will send out a combined 500 lumens on high, illuminating an area eight feet wide and six feet at a distance of ten feet. The light can also be dimmed to 300 lumens or switched to a flashing mode, and light intensity and modes will be selected by the two...
