Just thought I'd share the dream I had last night. I think it means I spend too much time on this board. I think the dream came from the "flight deck" post...
I was riding along in an MS 150 and came up on a rider whose bike was, at least, 22nd century. Apparently, instead of having a frame, his bike components were held together with energy bands. Additionally, instead of having a cyclocomputer, he had two 14" LCD penals branching off the hoods. The one on the left displayed more information than I knew existed (and, as dreams are prone to do, some of this information dealy with forces that have yet to be discovered). The one of the right had a satellite uplink and he was able to communicate in real-time video with trainers, family etc. he could also check stock quotes (buy Microsoft), e-mail, news, weather, etc. I was concerned about aerodynamics since the panels might act like wings. Apparently, the entire bike had some kind of shield that rendered such concerns moot. I think he said the whole thing weighed 3 pounds.
Don't know what else happened in the dream (right about that time, I woke up to realize my dog had thrown up in bed :mad: ), but I thought you all might like a glimpse of the future.
