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.

In another step forward toward health monitoring cars, I suggest developing a driver's seat that will take ECG readings through sensors able to take readings even through a fine layer of clothing. The sensors will be able to detect electrical current at a short distance, without needed direct contact. The seat will be able to produce accurate readings 98% of the time for 95% of drivers. Some possible applications for the smart seat will include warning the driver to pull over...

The idea is to develop a new technology that will allow cars to harness their waste heat for better fuel efficiency. It is necessary to create new thermoelectric generators, which will consist of semiconductor materials treated with hafnium and zirconium. The generators will be less expensive than conventional devices as well as 40 percent more efficient.

Why not develop a personalized onboard system to monitor chronic disease and personal wellness? The new system will be designed to react to simple voice commands, and will be able to deliver information on environmental aspects affecting allergies or monitor the blood sugar of diabetics through wireless glucose monitors. The system will also recommend alternative routes, suggest a snack, or roll up the windows in case of smog.

Why not develop parking meters able automatically call the police when you have overstayed your parking limit? The new meters will have sensors in the ground under each parking space, which will keep track as cars move in and out of the space. The sensors will notify the nearest parking inspector when a car has gone 5 minutes past it's paid for parking time.
