Clean chain technology for sure. How about a belt "chain" that can run on standard 7, 8, 9, 10 etc. drive trains? Of course each drive train will need to have a dedicated belt chain due to spacing issues. No lube, no mess. Just run it.

I have 2 Topeak minis, one is a Morph. I wouldn't describe the effort to reach 85 psi as reasonable. I reckon that my standard is either my old frame fit Zefals or Silcas, which I would love to carry but haven't figured how to mount one on my trike. In any case, my "want" was motivated by a flat this past weekend. I struggled to hit 80 with the little toy pump and probably lost 5 psi pulling the pump head off. I understand the physics of why mini pumps are less effective, but someone should have some magic to apply.

Frame airbags, that expand out around you before you impact the ground.

My biggest problem is not having nearly enough money to buy all the bikes, tools and accessories I wish to buy. Please help me solve this by sending money my way. I promise to call your school and make sure they give you an A+! It is a win-win, you don't really have to do much and I don't either but you will have solved a problem. It will leave you more time for drinking beer or riding a bike.

A crankset driven mini pump. Small enough to store easily, yet able to create high pressures with minimal effort. Take the very small device out of your jersey pocket or small saddle bag and attach it somehow to the bottom bracket on your inverted bike. Back peddle (by hand) to generate the PSI necessary to fill your tire. Anywhere from 20-100 revolutions would seem acceptable to fill a 700x32c tire.

Get yourself a topeak road morph. Works well.
