Cool cycling 2

Okay, so we know that riding bikes is better for the environment – and we also know that one of the things that stops people doing it is the hassle of hills, and the sweat you get before arriving in the office.
So how about this: an electric wheel that does the pedalling for you when you can’t be bothered, and that you can retrofit to your existing bike. You control it through an app on your phone – which also locks the wheel when you’re away, and lets you track it by GPS if it gets pinched. Nice. See more at www.flykly.com.
