Apple so far has only produced electronic gadgets such as computers, tablet, mp3 players and smartphone. Recently Apple filed a patent application for futuristic bicycle as published by the US Patent & Trademark Office on August 5, 2010. This newly advance Smart Bicycle System is designed for both individual cycling as well as team. The system monitors speed, distance, time, altitude, elevation, incline, decline, heart rate, power, derailleur setting, cadence, wind speed, path completed, expected future path, power and pace.
The bike has a docking station on the handlebars where an iPad or iPhone slots in and connects up to the machinery and sensors to give real-time information to the rider on the screen. The sensors, the display and electronic device could communicate via communications network 150 – which covers GPRS, CDMA, EV-DO, EDGE, 3GSM, DECT, IS-136/TDMA, iDen, LTE and/or others.
I am just wondering how much it will cost, if I have one I will absolutely bring it inside the store every time I do my grocery shopping... I won't leave my Apple bike in the parking lot as I may lose the docking station or the sensors.
