Toyota partnered up with Parlee to design a bicycle that transmits brainwaves to a smart phone mounted on the bicycle, which control the electronic gear shifting mechanism. This allows you to shift gears with your mind! SOOOO COOOOL!!! There's a video and some pictures here:

I already have such a thing. It's my fixed-gear bicycle. :whistle:

It's always in the right gear and I never have to use a mechanical (or electric) shifter. :laugh:

However, although the bike is always in the right gear, the gradient of the road is sometimes wrong. One day a clever scientist will work out a solution to that one. :sad:

I just noticed this... if you like at the picture of the bike it does look like there are shifters on there.. unless that just there for breaking purposes...

They have to be shifters tho.. cause you would only be able to go for a 30 max 40 min bike ride cause you would kill your battery fast.. especially if its an iPhone 4S! haha
