    Electronic shifting. "God I'm exhausted. All that shifting did me in on my ride today" An electric vibrating saddle would be something I would buy though.

    My mrs does Ann Summers but she could not find a vibrating saddle in the catalogue! sorry.

    surely then, if there was a better design, then it would be used for non competition bikes :?:

    maybe effective but not as convenient. cant go where a normal bike can. a lorry wouldnt see you that close to the road in town.
