If bike companies ever get on the ball they could design a bike that is internally wired with all assortment of jacks and plugs and things for electronics. Someday when they figure out it is not all about racing and extraordinarily expensive components that most people could car less about maybe they'll prioritize truly useful bike design.
They already do, I have a 1989 Giant Excursion, the fenders are part of the circuit, ditto a 2003 Staiger Florida. FWIW both of these bikes are Eurospec.
