I'm still waiting on my jet pack and flying car.

I wonder..... a flying car with a bicycle rack?

There will be a retro movement in bicycles with kick stands, chain guards, and fenders returning as standard equipment.

To some extent yes. I was in a nearby "big box" store last week, and walked past the new bikes. One bike had a brake arm that was seriously bent, so I squeezed the brake handles to see if the brake worked. Then I tried a few other bikes. These were 16" kids bikes. It took a monkey grip to get those brakes to engage because they were so stiff.

My bike is trendy, every 10 years. ;)

High efficiency miniature batteries and motors, small enough to fit in a bicycle seat post, will be the norm, kind of like the one Fabian Cancellara used to win the tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix.

I want it. A little help on the 13% gradients around my home would be welcome.
