Fixie-share bike system
Cool bikeshare system that that attaches all the necessary junk to the bike itself. You activate and lock it with your phone:
“The service consists of three parts. First, the SoBi unit which clamps to the bike and contains a GPS unit, a cellular device and a honking-great lock. Second is the SoBi server, and third is you or, more specifically, your cellphone.”

Let’s hope you don’t have to wear skinnyjeans to use those fixies…
