dragons den for cyclists

A pump you can remove without losing some of the air you've just struggled to get into your tyre

Lezyne already do with their air bleed system (ABS)

Cycling these days is about getting some really serious kit that will amaze your clubmates. For the senior pilots among you I propose a basic wireless cycle computer which is made of precious metals with an 'aeronautical style' display. When banked over too far in a turn it goes 'woop-woop' and if you go too slowly uphill it shakes the bars. Occasionally it makes that 'bing' sound that you only ever hear on aircraft. RRP £11,563, waterproof to 2000m. Limited edition. Versions for other professions in development (currently working on one aimed at Environmental Health Officers)

How about a HUD with the digits about 6' in front of you?

Some kind of chip that could be implanted in the terminally-gullible that would stop them from instinctively rejecting points of view that suggest they save their money instead of buying unnecessary upgrades.

I thought about a convex mirror, fitted to the flat part of handlebars so that you can keep your head down whilst speeding along without breaking up your aero profile so often by sitting up to check the road ahead.

An update on your GPS when farmers are cutting their Fecking hedges.......

A device that stills all wind within a 20yrd radius,

A device that stills all wind within a 20yrd radius,

Better than that, would be a device that provided you a tailwind at all times....

Oh - already available...

[Thomk]

A 5ft pneumatic "thumb up, thumb down" device. When someone makes a close pass on the commute a button releases the air into the device and it inflates in a "thumb down" orientation to the recorded shouts of "Oy you numpty" or words of your choice.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: heated saddle, bars and pedals for winter.
