[QUOTE 4612166, member: 9609"]I very much agree, BUT - smart connectivity is where it is at these days, your iPhone telling you your tyre pressure or how mush wear is left on your brake blocks may actual entice the next generation out of their bedrooms - think pokeman (or whatever it was) nobody 14yo is interested in a stell bike from the 70s, they want a 'smart' bike that connects to the modern world.[/QUOTE]
Other than the hipsters with a chopped about steel 'Fixie' and their gusset round their knees.

There are well proven simple solutions to all the problems covered in the survey. No need for connecting smart devices to the bike.

There's no need of course, but that there was no need for gear changers integrated with brake levers, clipless pedals, disc brakes, tubeless tyres...and so on and so on.

I'd quite like an app on my phone where I could check tyre pressures without having to manually connect a pressure gauge. I'd pay a few quid for that.

Perhaps it needs stating more clearly then. This is not an improvement on existing solutions.

Actually, that Pokemon Go thing seemed to encourage quite a few teenagers out on their bikes... although they were looking through their phone screen as they rode around and were a bit of a liability

...were it not for the porn on their phones enticing them back into their bedrooms?
