Cyclists can reduce their fear of flats with a new pump system that uses the compression of the tire upon the ground to pump air into the tube until the optimal pressure is reached. The pump system includes the tire, inner tube, and air valve. A one way valve draws in the air, which goes to the lumen, a small tube in the center of the tire. The lumen is compressed as the tire rolls along the ground, which forces air out of one end and into a second valve on the inner tube,...

Why not create a dual-cable lever for bicycles to allow riders with one hand to control the front and rear brakes on mountain and cyclocross bikes. The lever will be adjusted to engage both brakes at the same time or one a bit after the other. There will also be the option either to place the lever on the left or right side of the handlebar.

The idea is to have a bicycle lock you can wear, eliminating the need to carry a heavy lock around your shoulders or on your bike frame where it can feel clumsy and cause scratches. It will be the first bike lock specifically designed to be worn on the body. The lock will be adjustable and easy to remove, in contrast to conventional bike locks which must be locked onto the body in order to be secure. The lock will be made to carry its weight on the user's hips and will have highly...

My idea is to have bikes with built in solar powered LED lights. Besides using solar, the lights of the bike could also be charged through a cell phone's micro USB. The bike's frame will be made of super light rust free aluminum, and will include an ABUS X-plus cylinder chain lock integrated into the frame, deterring envious thieves.

Another idea is to develop a concept bike that will use brain-controlled gear shifting. The system will use neurotransmitters in the helmet to measure brainwaves, which will operate an electronic gear shift. A wireless transmitter attached to the seat post will affect the commands.

I suggest creating the first ever wireless bike. The eBike will have only a tiny bit of wiring in the front hub. The bike will also have a USB port, charging port, LED batter power display, regenerative brakes and a wheel that will double as a generator. All of the bike's circuitry will be in-frame, including the electric motor, battery, throttle and peddle-assist functions. Motor range will be 12-15 miles. Battery will take 4-5 hours to recharge.

The idea is to create a device to project a laser image onto the road in order to make drivers more aware of bicyclists. The device is meant to be mounted on the handlebars of a bike, where it will project a bright green bicycle symbol on the road in front of the cyclist. The symbol will be visible by day or night, and will shine steadily as well as flashing off and on.

Why not use vertical space in order to park more bikes, saving space in urban areas while also encouraging more biking? The vertical storage system can be attached to the unused walls of buildings, cranking the bikes up along the wall on a circular track. The concept also includes ideas for smaller, freestanding racks for tighter spaces, such outside a store or cafe.

I'll be the first one to buy a bike with a frame looking like my name handwritten. This idea is really cool. With such a bike I'll definitely stand out from the crowd. By the way, the risk of bike being stolen will be eliminated.
