Chris Boardman’s Near-Future Bicycle
Posted by RONIN/SS | Filed under Art & Design, Science & Technology
Olympic cyclist Chris Boardman shows off his unique bike design which he not only says will be common in 20 years but is also theft-proof and features puncture-free tires. The futuristic-looking creation boasts a complete carbon fiber body with a built-in locking anti-theft mechanism which can only be activated by the touch of the bike owner’s fingerprints. Addition features include a calorie monitoring system, battery-powered assistance, and aforementioned puncture-free tires that have the ability to self-inflate.

Cannondale “Stealth” Concept Bike
Posted by RONIN/SS | Filed under Science & Technology
Aside from the looks, the bike has a lot of impressive features, including a special new fork construction in all carbon fibre, as well as a monocoque carbon frame. The matt paint is just another point of attraction. Inspired by the Stealth fighter jet, the Cannondale bike is an impressive piece of sports equipment that we will hopefully soon see on the market.
Very very nice!

New RED Scarlet and Epic
Posted by RONIN/SS | Filed under Science & Technology
The Scarlet will come with several lens mount options and will be able to shoot 3K @120fps (with still pictures at 4.9 megapixels) all the way up to 6K @30fps (at 9.4 megapixels). They’ll be priced as low as $2,500 but most likely will go over ten big ones for the better rigs.
The EPIC sensors will shoot from 5K @100fps (with still pictures at 13.8 megapixels) to 9K @50fps (at 65 megapixels), and the price range will range from $28,000 to over $45,000 when they are released in the Spring next year.
