Chris Boardman, Olympic cyclist, has revealed a new innovative bicycle that is “impossible to steal” and features puncture-proof tires. A built-in computer will read your fingerprint to unlock it’s “unbreakable” self-locking mechanism. In addition to that – the bike can play music & count calories while you pedal and can assist your pedaling with a built-in solar-powered electric motor. The wheels have no spokes and the entire frame is made of carbon fiber, making the bike aerodynamic, strong and lightweight.

Want one? Boardman says the bike can be built with existing technologies, but financial feasibility may take 20 years. Oh well. Concepts like these rarely are built in their entirety but ideas from this concept and others will help shape the future of bicycle design.
