Can this be the Future of Cycling?
I often wonder if the future will include flying vehicles. If that is the case where would this leave bicycles? Are bicycles not future proof? I beg to differ. I believe bicycle makers just ushered in the future with the invention of a bicycle that can read the mind of its rider.
The PXP concept bike looks like a perfectly normal looking bike but seeing the headgear will convince you there is more to this bike than just cycling. It’s futuristic headgear can aptly be called as the neurohelmet is fitted with dozens of sensors touching the scalp and attached to dozen more wires which is in turn connected to a laptop. A smartphone with an application that reads a person’s brain waves, heart rate, pace, speed and most of all the person’e cycling habits is attached to the head gear as well as a laptop which translates and processes all information and turns it into a mechanical action on the bike.
This bike works by catching the rider’s brain waves through it’s sensors. SO when the biker would want to turn left, the sensors will detect the brain waves, extract the information and translate it into an action thereby actually turning the bike left. Neat!
Unfortunately, this PXP design bike will not be available on the market. But the possibility of controlling a bike with your mind is not just a dream, it is already a reality.
