Electronically-enhanced Cycling

Electronically-enhanced Cycling

If a new crowdfunding campaign is successful, yet another “smart bike” will soon be available to consumers. Called the BiCi, it was designed by a team from Shanghai-based AOAO Studio after a four-month period of focusing on “what the perfect bike should be.” The end result certainly looks unique, if nothing else.

What makes it smart, however, are its onboard electronics. These include sensors that track parameters such as current speed, cadence, altitude, location, calories consumed and heart rate (it isn’t clear how that last one is measured). All the data is displayed and recorded on the rider’s paired iOS or Android smartphone, which sits on a handlebar mount.
