Bike gadgets

[Tin Pot]

saw this last night, great to see people trying to innovate in cycling.

I like the mudguard (#1 gadget) but I don't really need the rest.

Yeah, I like the Bluetooth lock as well. But mostly I just like seeing all these people trying to innovate.

And how cycling could change in the coming years.

Best line re the Bluetooth D lock - 'you don't need to carry bulky keys' - yeah the key to my lock is soooooooo heavy compared to the d-lock I still have to carry around!

 

[Drago]

Surely a mobile phone is bulkier than a key?

 

[martinclive]

The electric stuff is interesting - particularly the 'Add E' and may be useful for certain people - but I actually like (need) the exercise................some fascinating ideas though

The tech is available to replace all keys with soft token in your phone.

No one worth trying to sell tech to goes anywhere without a phone, so this reduces the stuff in pockets.

I can see noke lock working on a shared rental/workplace/hotel courtesy bike.

I regularly go out without a phone, but whether I do or not I still take my front door key, and what's one more little key on the split ring?

Indeed, what's one iddy bitty little key compared the size and weight of the padlock?

Mine is literally the same size.

Exactly - you're not the target market!

I used to have a wallet, Oyster card and phone - now I just have my phone.

I haven't replaced the front door lock with an electronic lock yet, but it's coming. Then no keys.

Yeah, have a lock solely based on your phone. and when the battery is dead in your phone

They have thought of that.

 

[400bhp]

They have thought of that.

In what way?

In what way?

I think it's in the video, isn't it? One of the backups is a code you tap in.

I couldn't see it? Probably is & am not paying attention.
