For riding in the rain, we'll have goggles or face-plates with sonic "wipers", like what Boeing just patented. The water beads up and rolls off when they hit the surface with acoustic waves, 30 Khz I think it is. That seems useful enough to actually happen.

Those of us training with power, sorry to tell you but I predict that your power meters will be obsolete before the ten years are up. We'll have standard bio-metric devices which will measure and monitor, among other things, total power output. Individually calibrated obviously. Given instant and time-lagged measurements of respiration rate and volume, heart rate and blood flow volume, instant metabolic rate along with total power output, training programs will be vastly superior to the old-school power-based routines.
