Very nice. I'm a bicyclist so this is "right up my alley" (pun intended). It just goes to show you how diverse the potential of future integration between technology and the every day lives we lead can be. We're only seeing the earliest creations, smart watches, NFC, and now smrtGRiPS.

Just one of my many bikes...

First, that lady looks incredibly uncomfortable riding that bike.

Second, how hard do you think it'd be to switch which grip is on which side and do you think it would then vibrate in reverse? Or do you think it works with your GPS to know which way you're going an adapts itself to that? ie, is there a specific Right and Left handle that needs to be put on that side and that side only?

Very nice. Always wanted to try riding a bicycle built for two. I actually know someone who's family owns one, but never got around to trying it.

One more thing I have to charge! Phone, watch, tablet, BT headphones, bike head/tail lights, and now handlebars? Gonna need more chargers.

 

[LoneWolfArcher]

Need these for ATVs!!

 

[SquireSCA]

I just use headphones when riding... They keep the noise from my race exhaust from hurting my ears, but also allow me to listen to some music as I ride, and then the GPS cuts in when needed to give me turn by turn directions. Reliable, and the cost is free. hehe

Nice ride Fox. I always wanted to get a full squish tandem.

Nice ride Fox. I always wanted to get a full squish tandem.

It's cool that you recognize that it's a full squish. I've had that thing five and a half feet in the air with the passenger on the rear. It's lots of fun on the trails. I also had a custom set of wheels built for it match in color, Sapim bladed spokes and matching spoke nipples in a 26 inch by three quarters configuration so I can ride that thing on the road to. It's a pretty awesome bike.

I completely rebuilt that thing from top to bottom including replacing the bottom bracket with titanium and using titanium hardware in every place I had to . And aluminum hardware in places I could get away with as well. I replaced the cranks and put better disc brakes on it, and carbon fiber where else I could get away with it such as seatposts, stems and and bars. I have about eight or nine other bikes, kind of lost track of count. Most of them have been completely rebuilt from top to bottom as well.

I'd like to see the handles light up too. Use them like blinkers.

 

[liftedplane]

and those fancy ends are going to make them extremely easy to see and steal.

they need to look 100% bone stock before I'd EVER think of leaving something like this on my bike.

it's a great idea, just a bit scary to think of how easily they could be stolen.

I believe they go inside the handlebar and a grip covers them. I would think they have a tamper alert as well.

 

[FoxKat]

One would hope so.

Here are the custom road wheels and the bike outfitted for road.
