AUG 10, 2010
Physics Today
Daily Mail : Apple has filed a patent for a futuristic “smart” bike that has a docking station on the handlebars for an iPad or iPhone. The device would connect to the bike to provide real-time feedback to riders regarding their performance as well as share information with other bikers about traffic or routes. What’s more, the same principle could be “applied to any suitable vehicle or mode of transportation,” such as cars, motorcycles, or trucks, or even walking, running, or horseback riding, according to Patentlyapple.com , Apple’s patent applications blog.
