Bicycles are probably one innovative and competitive markets out there, the amount of cutting edge technology used to shave gram weight from components is absurd

Somewhat unfairly, I consider the above as variations on a theme, rather than innovative new solutions.

Three problems I'd like to see solved (admittedly, with no idea other than "by magic" at present):

- It's absurdly easy to steal bicycles, locked up or otherwise.

- Trip statistics magic mentioned in grandfather comment

- Making cycling in wet/windy conditions more pleasurable without relying on special clothes

These are all peripherals for your bike though, I agree totally these areas need more innovation :) ESPECIALLY bike theft.

These are all peripherals for your bike though

I don't honestly know about that, though; I can imagine each one of these being so integral to the bike itself that they simply couldn't be peripherals.

Agreed re: bike theft - but it also grates me that if I drive to the office, a sudden unexpected downpour makes zero difference to my life, whereas on my bike... wurgh.
