Though I am a frequent biker in Copenhagen, I still haven’t seen the Copenhagen Wheel in real life..

Still integrating your phone with other items seems great too mee.

Whether a connected world of things will be distopic or not remains to be seen. Certainly from the point of view of commerce, it is ideal to have everyone connected all the time from everywhere. The potential for abuses will abound and it is incumbant on all of us not to forget to disconnect as needed.

@Tony
Probably not just shoes but Gucci Shoes :)

@Patrick
You are welcome in my “space” any time. Good luck creating your own and I hope that you have as much fun as I do!

But oh my f*@k is it fun :) I often ride with a big fat grin, occasionally having to spit bugs from out from between my teeth :)

I go for rides to get away from the internet and enjoy the scenery, the high speed turns, and bugs in my face. I don’t want to be “connected”.

Traffic source is probably Google Maps (they offer up the info via a programming interface)…once you know someone’s location (and the iPhone is very good at determining that)…almost any kind of local information can flow in and out of the App.

Yes who knows how much it weighs and how flexible it is…hardly would be worth giving up a derailleur for …

Before I plunk down $600 for an electric wheel…I will be in the market for a new bike… :)

I’m wondering what the data source is for traffic and weather? Is it’s applicability for specific/limited urban environments. Looks like it is for fixed gear flat land bikes – but perhaps not. I’d love to see you on this piece of technology!!!

We live 45 minutes from the headwaters…you live at the tail waters.

Coincidence?

I like the game mechanics of it – incorporating the “green miles” earned. Seems like an interesting device.
