Chris Boardman Designs the Bike of the Future

Olympic cyclist Chris Boardman and SkySports teamed to come up with the "everyday" bicycle of the future. The bike uses carbon fiber, has puncture proof tires, a fingerprint activated locking system and a small battery with solar panels. Boardman said that, "Carbon-fibre is definitely the future of bike technology as it is strong, super-lightweight and malleable...it's like lego for adults and would help people store and transport their bikes."

Because carbon fiber is somewhat expensive, it may be a while before this one hits the road.
