This competition is now closed
Congratulations to Stephen Devincenzi for the winning fantasy accessory…
My bike would be music-intelligent; creating it’s own theme tune to fit it’s surroundings. For example, if I were cycling through French countryside it would create some gentle piano and accordion harmonies; if I were in New Orleans it would serve up some deep-bass rhythm and blues; and if I was in the Reeperbahn it would play some dirty alternative underground industrial music. Oh, and if I was cycling past a group of girls it would slow down and play ‘Superstition’ by Stevie Wonder.
We love it!
A big shout out to our other favourite entries which gave us the giggles…
Alex says: Automatic breadcrumbs dispenser on the back wheel.
Lynne says: An ice cream van detector – it can be hot work pedalling!
Toryn says: I’d have a holographic projector so that white van men would think I was a hummer and give me some space (and respect) on the roads!
Caroline says: With a push of a button, a sign comes out stating a comment after an incident i.e. “Really?” “I’m here, too, ya know.” “Thanks for looking out.”
John says: a seat that hugs but doesn’t kiss
Kathryn says: Hamster wheels attached to each side. Stabiliser stylee….so my hamsters could accompany me on my travels. They’d love it!
Mel says: My bike would repeatedly say: “Keep pedaling and you will get skinny, stop pedaling and you will stay fat…..
Paramitha Sulistiaji Prabowo says: I want a mini dany de vito attached on my bike that keep talking and mocking people or whatever around me sarcasticly. That thing would keeps me laughing all the time while biking and give the ultimate joy ride every time I ride my bike.

I am dreamimg about a black bike signed by Dave Gahan
Depeche Mode forever and everywhere!
August 17th, 2011 at 9:32 am
Automatic breadcrumbs dispenser on the back wheel. I wanna know where I came from!
August 17th, 2011 at 9:35 am
Ha, mine’s pretty simple – safety wheels, since I’m 24 & still don’t know how to ride a bike.
August 17th, 2011 at 9:41 am
A front shield. I know insects are a great nutrition source but enough with having the ones on the go, last time i had some inbetween my teeth, i found out after quite a savory kiss with my girlfriend.
Oh and, just throwing it out there.. A perfect seat. The only reason why i don’t bike everyday is because each time i get on that bike i feel i’m being felt up by the seat.
August 17th, 2011 at 9:44 am
We have three daughters under the age of 8 and have chosen not to have a car for ethical/environmental/financial reasons. We also live in rural Ireland, and it is a significant challenge to transport the whole family…anywhere!! We have a twin buggy with a bike attachment, but that still leaves us with a third child to transport, and crazy Irish drivers are notoriously oblivious to bikers. Ultimately, my Dream-Machine Bike would have some sort of Rickshaw attachment that could accommodate my 3 kids for drives into town, and have mad reflectors and flags up the wazoo so all the selfish turds in SUVs would have no choice but to see us!! Alternatively, I’d settle for a front-mounted baby seat for my husband’s bike, but I’d still REALLY love a rickshaw ;o)
August 17th, 2011 at 9:46 am
I’d like a bike that can keep my pimms refrideragted while i cycle to my picnic!
August 17th, 2011 at 9:52 am
My bike would come equipped with an invisibility shield, rodeo lasso and side car so that I can live out my dream of being a bike riding super ninja. I’d sneak up on the bad guys with my invisibility shield, lasso them and then cart them off to the police station in the side car. It’s the ultimate crime fighting machine. I reckon they’d make films about me and my bike.
August 17th, 2011 at 9:53 am
A bell, of course!
August 17th, 2011 at 10:03 am
What greater cycling accessory than an invisible waterproof bubble/cloak? There will no longer be a need for donning bulky, ugly waterproof trousers and a rain coat; I will no longer get caught off guard by an unexpected summer shower. Instead, I will be the envy of all cyclists, looking cool and fashionable in my summer outfit as I cycle, dry, through the drowning streets of Edinburgh. Above all else, the waterproof cloak will keep me (and my belongings) dry when my greatest cycling fear comes true, and inevitably, I skid out of control and tumble into the Union Canal.
August 17th, 2011 at 10:26 am
An ice cream van detector – it can be hot work pedalling!
August 17th, 2011 at 10:35 am
Fantasy bike accessory five minutes ago would have been an automatic sweat/road-grime/bike grease remover so I would be more presentable after a dusty ride in 33 degreesC and 80% humidity! Stop trip-no drip ?
August 17th, 2011 at 10:38 am
I want a front basket to put my E.T. on my bike. Then I would be able to fly above the moon while escaping from FBI agents.
August 17th, 2011 at 10:46 am
I wish for my bike to have a teleportation device, just to jump half a mile by itself. I enjoy cycling to work in the summer, I live in the countryside without much traffic. The ride is twenty minutes long, although its uphill it’s not too bad. On the way back, it’s thirty!! There’s an awful hill where the gradient is so steep that cars can only go up it in first gear! That’s right, embarrassingly I often walk up that hill, I wish I could teleport to the top instead, to get all the way up without stopping!
August 17th, 2011 at 10:47 am
i would have to say a rocket so i can plow through those 100km headwinds!
August 17th, 2011 at 10:48 am
A colored glow-in-the-dark raincoat to protect the baby against theft and bad weather in Amsterdam.
August 17th, 2011 at 10:48 am
Speakers which you can connect a USB MP3 player, which are shaped in a way that they can be used to lock your bike and helmet to a pole!
And when someone tries to cut them off it will trigger the alarm sirens!
So you can be cruising through the city streets with your music, go to work, and not have to worry about some mindless London rioters stealing your bike and stripping them off this gadget!
And you wont look like some silly manga figure as you go to work with your helmet!
August 17th, 2011 at 10:58 am
Roman chariot spikes on the wheels!!
To stop cars getting so close and squeezing me into the kerb.
August 17th, 2011 at 11:54 am
Cappuccino from the left handle and tea from the right! Bacon butties from the rear Whoop! On yer bike!!!
August 17th, 2011 at 12:00 pm
My ideal thing would be an ipod holder with small speakers on the handle bars too
August 17th, 2011 at 12:02 pm
I’d have a holographic projector so that white van men would think I was a hummer and give me some space (and respect) on the roads!
August 17th, 2011 at 12:09 pm
I would like to have camera holder attached to my bike to take pictures of the interesting sites with my LOMO Diana F+ camera without getting off the bike or risking a fall
August 17th, 2011 at 12:10 pm
Biking is healthiest sport! But i am not the professional one
…. Mostly i used for it to reduce my beer tummy … ha ha… my location is a hilly region~ Always early morning starts with bit of exercise, most importantly slope to begin with which brings first smile of the day~ after few minutes of ride most annoying ride would be crossing the steep hill which really makes me sad to paddle.
this made to realised biking is part of ‘cycle of life’ which has two faces happiness and sadness. So i changed my bike’s forward rim with smily face and the backward with a sad face~

…an invisible shield!! So the police can´t catch me anymore
August 17th, 2011 at 1:33 pm
A slurpee machine and rocket boosters!
August 17th, 2011 at 1:39 pm
Normally I would be very positive….but the last time I rode my bike, I was majorly sweared at by a carload of jerks for not moving out of the way. I want an uzi.
August 17th, 2011 at 1:53 pm
Imagine pedalling amidst the clouds! Did you know the Wright Brothers made and repaired bicycles? Many of the original experiments in flight were bicycle/flying machine hybrids. Despite the failure of these early aircycles, with the strong and lightweight modern materials around today, it could be perfectly feasible to build a bicycle with folding wings, that could take to the air like a hang-glider, land on any paved road and function as a normal bike on land. A small windcharger propeller might also collect energy from the wind while cycling downhill and turn it into motive power in the air!
August 17th, 2011 at 2:01 pm
It would be great to make electricity while I pedal and put a little TV infront so I can watch my game when I’m late home
/Inspiration- Barca playing tonight/
August 17th, 2011 at 2:03 pm
I would love to take my bike on adventure trips. For that, it would be perfect to accessorize my bike with invisible wings so it can fly and glide like an eagle and an invisible floater so it can travel on water, too. Aside from those I mentioned, it would also be nice to for my bike to have at least 4 passenger seats so I can take my husband and my 3 daughters with me riding the bike of my dreams.
August 17th, 2011 at 3:10 pm
I would like a tank of bubble solution and an array of bubble wands attached to the rear of my bike. The faster I pedal the more liquid would be pumped to the wands…I would leave a trail of iridescent bubbles blowing in the wind behind me.. a sight sure to inspire smiles everywhere I go!
August 17th, 2011 at 3:31 pm
I think……a pair of Tardis-like panniers so I would need to make only one trip per week to the supermarket. That would be brilliant!
August 17th, 2011 at 3:36 pm
Hi! I bike everyday to go to work and really Love it! He’s about 16 years and start to fall apart here and there sometimes. (o: You wanna be impress? Well, a fantasy accessory for me might me a magical compass just like in the pirates of the Carabean that indicates the place where I want to go when it’s not clear. Also, many crazy and soft lights can be safer the night and entertain people.
D And, something to drive in the snow when winter comes. THANKS!!!! (o:
August 17th, 2011 at 4:02 pm
A basket that can hold a bottle of wine and baguette in it!!! I would love to bike to a park for a romantic picnic with my husband!
August 17th, 2011 at 4:10 pm
With a push of a button, a sign comes out stating a comment after an incident i.e. “Really?” “I’m here, too, ya know.” “Thanks for looking out.”
August 17th, 2011 at 4:18 pm
My bike would have a turbine powered coffee warmer attached to the pedals, so as i pedal it would charge the turbine and heat the coffee warmer that is attached to the handlebars. It have a special flask attached with (long) heat proof straw so i could have my morning caffiene fix on the commute to work without it going cold or spilling everywhere.
August 17th, 2011 at 4:21 pm
Hi everyone!
My bike’s quite old and it’s hard to go uphill. So I need a bike-voice generator which could repeat “We can it! We’ll do it!” while getting to next picturesque village on the Alsace Wine Road
Good luck!
August 17th, 2011 at 4:40 pm
A mobile charger, free and clean energy generated by the movement.
August 17th, 2011 at 4:44 pm
I am 5ft tall and my legs are super super short. Because of this my bike is so tiny that I can only fit one water bottle, my seat post has been sawed down to nothing so the seat sits directly on the post. And I have a harder time climbing than most people, so my fantasy accessory would be leg extensions that would give me the extra power, allow my bike to fit perfectly and feel stronger. Until then though, I will keep on pedaling.
August 17th, 2011 at 4:46 pm
My bike is…..
A saddle of worn, burnished tan leather, a metallic green painted frame, chipped, and specked with rust, holding misplaced stickers and decals from 80s cartoons, like the Snorks. A quaint, woven cane basket, still robust enough to hold things, but somewhat coming apart at the seams. An oversized black rubber and chrome nozzled horn, which leaves your hand smelling of tennis balls post use, and produces a comic, slightly forlorn honk. Large, 21 inch chrome gangsta cruiser wheels laden with a mix of florescent and plain coloured spokey dokeys. Large chrome covered lights, connected to a intermittently functioning dynamo. Carbon coloured, plastic pedals, with orangey yellow reflector strips on the long edges, a loose, but well oiled chain, glistening and sludgey. A characterful 12 gears that click and chug when too much torque is applied to the pedals. Sleek comfortable chrome handlebars, covered with slightly sticky electric blue grip tape. A functional metal parcel carrier on the back, with vicious spring laden clip. Long white splash-guards, spattered with dusty grime
August 17th, 2011 at 5:03 pm
I would get an automated bubble blower to attach to the back of my bike. It would blow bubbles as I ride around, spreading joy and LOLs. This summer when I was in San Francisco for the Pride Parade I saw a person with this setup riding in the parade and it really made me happy. I’d like to spread that kind of positivity as I ride around Washington, DC, on my commute, for errands, to my community garden plot, etc. It is a place that could use more light and laughter.
August 17th, 2011 at 5:18 pm
I just had my wonderfull carbon MTB stolen, which I need for getting around in the city:-( I dream of a GPS tracking system built into the bike frame (of course combined with a bomb which I could release when the theft is riding my bike:-) I imagine a very small unit with a SIM card which turns on twice a day, and to which I can send a text message asking for its position in case of theft.
I hate all you bike stealers!!!!
August 17th, 2011 at 5:34 pm
My fantasy bike would have wheels that allowed it to go over water, climb walls and even fly! It would also include a weatherproof shell that would still let me enjoy the breeze on my face and some magic accesory that would stop sweat and get me spotless when commuting. =D
August 17th, 2011 at 5:37 pm
Well, my town has really bad conditions for bikers – sidewalks occupied by parked cars, zebra crossings – what zebra crossings?, bike paths like they were designed in the 1820′s… But we also have really obnoxious policemen, who show up out of nowhere and fine you for riding a bike on the pavement, hoping to escape death by being run over by a humvee, or for riding in the opposite direction on the path, because the next zebra crossing is WAY over there and you’re turning left here anyhow…. you get the point.
So my dream accessory is a doughnut gun. When I see the police with their horrible little STOP sign, I just press a button and *FTOOM!* a bunch of doughnuts fly from the basket and distract the police while I cycle nonchalantly past. No more tickets for me!
August 17th, 2011 at 5:38 pm
A reverse osmosis water filtration system that collects and delivers fresh cool water from the moisture in the atmosphere. No more water bottles or hydration packs to weigh you down, just a funky colored silly straw to get a cool drink whenever you want.
August 17th, 2011 at 5:40 pm
a fridge ,so he can always have food and drink to hand .
August 17th, 2011 at 5:45 pm
Fantasy bike would have two seats but one set of pedals and a magazine stand in front of the pedalless seat.
August 17th, 2011 at 5:46 pm
Integral Cappuccino maker for breaktime…
August 17th, 2011 at 5:57 pm
I would like trailerwith a fold out tent with a gas cooker and an inverter that is charging up while riding for a radio ect ect… It would have everything you need for camping and more built in including sleeping bag and Pillows.
August 17th, 2011 at 5:58 pm
I´m thinking something possible…
so i´ll need a place to put mu mobile phone…an GPS and a conection to google maps that gave information where I can change the tires, or put some air in it, and off course a anti roubery system that indicates where are my bike……a place to put the things: sports material, like clothes, shoes, bath suit, towel…
I device that said to me how many km I had made, how I spent in energy, but specially my opportunity cost: If i use a car to do the same distance how much gas I had spent, money and environment costs…
…and at least but not last…the possibility to change my bike to a “mobilete”…..but an electric one that i can charge at home or in electric public place with a card for that….
More lighter but more visible at night….and a litle place for things for first aids…remember you have a bike…
To end a special key that permits block the bike…just only with a turn on and turn off…
sorry my english…i hope you understand all my ideas…
August 17th, 2011 at 6:06 pm
i love all these great ideas! for me it would be a light-weight rain cover that is permanently stowed in the frame. I couldn’t leave my bike in my apartment and we don’t have a bike room, so the poor thing (if i had one) would be outside all year…
August 17th, 2011 at 6:16 pm
Magic cycling shoes that pedal the bike for me.
August 17th, 2011 at 6:19 pm
My bike would be music-intelligent; creating it’s own theme tune to fit it’s surroundings. For example, if I were cycling through French countryside it would create some gentle piano and accordion harmonies; if I were in New Orleans it would serve up some deep-bass rhythm and blues; and if I was in the Reeperbahn it would play some dirty alternative underground industrial music. Oh, and if I was cycling past a group of girls it would slow down and play ‘Superstition’ by Stevie Wonder.
August 17th, 2011 at 6:25 pm
Well naturally I’d apply my newly patented gyro/smootie making device to the pania rack on the back. By connecting the turning of the crank to the turn of the smoothie maker blades I’ll be getting my five miles as well as my five a day.
August 17th, 2011 at 7:27 pm
hmmm…just the bike will do..living the simple life!!
August 17th, 2011 at 8:57 pm

August 17th, 2011 at 9:27 pm
For the winter it could be perfect a pair of heaters into the handlebars!
August 17th, 2011 at 9:57 pm
A perfect left pedal.
August 17th, 2011 at 9:59 pm
In the winter my hands are freezin. I need a bike with a heated handlebar. It gets warm when driving. It works like the lights on the bike with a dynamo.
August 17th, 2011 at 10:14 pm
My future bike will have a vibration function, so that I could wake up. The fact is that I go daily to work by bike nd wake up on the way…
August 18th, 2011 at 2:32 am
Well of course gizmo gadget go feature. So when the snow comes you say “Go gadget go” and voila you have skis for the incredible snowy winters in this grand country called Canada.
August 18th, 2011 at 4:06 am
Light weight power assist system that is as a feather ! If it will be with my road bike, It will help me climbing steep hill so faster.
August 18th, 2011 at 4:40 am
I would like a point-and-shoot camera in the center of the handlebars.
August 18th, 2011 at 6:02 am
a mini-reactor ! in order that from time to time I can have the possibility to go faster

The High Velo-city (*TM)
*** The Extraordinarily Impossible becomes the Ordinarily Possible ***
Imagine a bicycle that combines the everyday slow, yet peaceful, jaunt of the pedalling cyclist with the dynamic speed of a traveller through time and space. In my idyllic world – a cross somewhere between ‘The Good Life’ and ‘Doctor Who’, the theory of general relativity would not be theory alone.
A traversable wormhole does not involve the acceleration of one end of the wormhole to a high velo(!)city relative to another for nothing if not to allow you to travel both efficiently and in such a fashion as to combine the ‘old-school’ cool of the tootling pedaller with the ‘new-age’ cool of the restless future that results in something so ultimately and outrageously cool it would probably blow your mind.
In this fantasma-reality, I would sit down on my mint-pastel-shaded dutch bicycle, adorned with large handle bars (made of turned and smoothed beech from a fallen tree, struck by lightning, to mimic the antlers of a large stag) and a thatched basket, brimming with my hedgerow bounty, and as I started to pedal through sepia-toned scenes of the countryside on a warm summer’s evening I would enter an accelerated traversable wormhole.
Relativistic time dilation would begin, leading the accelerated wormhole mouth to age less than the stationary one, which would create a sort of twin paradox. As synchronized clocks positioned at each end of the wormhole mouth remain synchronized to the kook cycling through the wormhole itself, I would exit the stationary mouth at a point in time prior to entering the wormhole in the first place.
So long as all of the clocks were synchronized at each polar end of the wormhole to 2011, this would allow me to go on a trip of relativistic velocities, starting in 2011, cycling back to 1963 to take part in all of the hippy fun in full fringed, swinging regalia amongst 1960s split-screen VW Camper Vans, resisting the need to pay for taxes and to work for the ‘man’ just for long enough to feel at one with my new zen-like self before losing my grip on reality and my mind entirely. To return to normality I would hop on to my High Velo-City (*TM), which would complete the cycle through the wormhole to bring me back to 2011, with the vague hazy sense that I’ve had the most epic and beautiful of dreams.
No one would believe you so you’d have to keep it to yourself like a really wonderful secret… until it’s discovered by your granddaughter in years to come and like the Peter Pan and Jumanji’s of this world – the adventures will would start all over again…
Or something to that effect.
August 18th, 2011 at 12:52 pm
My ideal bike should have Wings of Fire…thats my Dzzire.
August 18th, 2011 at 3:12 pm
musical pedals.
as you pedal the music starts to play, think ice cream van on two wheels, or beating out your favourite tunes as you commute into work on a monday morning… won’t everyone wanna cycle next to you!
August 18th, 2011 at 3:45 pm
I want my bike to be a music making machine – complete with drum machine on crossbar, handlebar xylophone to the left, teeny tiny keyboard to the right, and a microphone to both record samples of the sounds I hear while riding along, and be able to sing, sing, sing to fellow travellers at every traffic light. Some will love me, others will want to kill me, but it will prove entertaining either way
August 18th, 2011 at 4:35 pm
I reckon an on-board entertainment centre would be really cool – TV & iPod connectivity via an electric bike.
August 18th, 2011 at 8:07 pm
My fantasy bike… Um.. I want a mini dany de vito attached on my bike that keep talking and mocking people or whatever around me sarcasticly. That thing would keeps me laughing all the time while biking and give the ultimate joy ride every time I ride my bike.

Hamster wheels attached to each side. Stabiliser stylee….so my hamsters could accompany me on my travels. They’d love it!
August 19th, 2011 at 6:38 am
WOW!! Some awesome ideas, especially all you music buffs, but check this out. I’m a longtime downhill mountainbiker, but recently began doing long roadbike trips, which I LOVE, but two reasons I often need to stop, (Checking the Map and adjusting my IPOD shuffle) will be eliminated with the invention of the HANDLEBAR DASHBOARD!!!
The app. possibilities are for the handlebar dash are endless, speedometers, trip-meters, calorie-burners…etc..BUT, the BIG PITCH for this triangular shaped/clip-on to the handlebar and gooseneck device, is the central view GPS and the two side speakers with IPOD adjustments, (vol, fwd, bckwd…).
These two primary functions of the Handlebar-Dash not only eliminate two reasons to stop peddling, but greatly increase the safety of riding by; 1) eliminate the foolish temptation of IPOD adjusting or map-checking whule riding 2) Eliminate headphones which are unsafe and I venture to guess, maybe Illegal? 3) Only an IDIOT could get lost.

Pamela Anderson with her twin airbags!BE SAFE BE SEEN!
August 19th, 2011 at 3:36 pm
A feature that would suit me would be a combination umbrella-engine. The umbrella would fold into a rear case when not needed but the engine would be used to help pick up the speed to get out of bad weather moments.
August 19th, 2011 at 3:37 pm
A strobe light would be so cool and it would give me a sense of added safety. Drivers could see you much easier with a strobe light and that’s a good thing.
August 19th, 2011 at 3:56 pm
I would love a custom made doggy seat added to my bike
August 19th, 2011 at 4:32 pm

My bike would have a Speedometer because it would let me know the mileage that I travel each day, each week, and month. I believe in taking responsability for my well-being which means exercising taking into account the distance I travel.
August 19th, 2011 at 5:54 pm
A massage machine to continually massage as I ride. The more massages, the better I feel and the longer I can ride…;0)
August 19th, 2011 at 6:23 pm
I’d have a jetpack that I can activate on steep hills, or whenever I can’t be bothered to pedal. I’d also have a button that I can press to instantly lose 5kg from whichever part of my body I feel needs it at the time…
August 19th, 2011 at 6:40 pm
Some cute guy to pedal it for me while I sit on the handlebars
August 19th, 2011 at 6:41 pm
I would like a real wicker basket in front of the handlebars, painted white, and filled with flowers.
It would rot out every summer, but it would be soooo pretty! 
August 19th, 2011 at 6:43 pm
A cool bell!
August 19th, 2011 at 8:23 pm
I would love a bike that could fly! I live in the city and sometimes it gets busy, trying to weave through pedestrians, other bikes and cars. I’d love to hover over all those people to get where I need to go! An automatic squirt gun would be another feature I’d love for those “road raged” people I encounter along my ride….it would squirt green slime, so much fun
August 19th, 2011 at 8:26 pm
I used to bike everywhere, but now I am a bit older and on oxygen 24/7.
I want a recumbent bike or a tricycle for adults. I have been practicing on a stationary bike and am getting stronger. It has been a life long dream to bike across Holland in tulip time. It is flat land should be easy. My sister, who is a bit younger has agreed to come with me. All we need are the bikes, prayers, and a little financial help from our grand kids.
August 19th, 2011 at 8:55 pm
My bike would be pink in colour, with a large pink seat(to cushion my ample bottom) and would have a pink basket on the front. Can you tell I love pink? My brother often took my bikes apart or rode them into the ground as a child and then I would be without one…this one would be my very own!!
August 19th, 2011 at 9:07 pm
the fanatsy accessories i would want on my bike,would be a sensor that sounds when a car is to close to the side or back of the bike when riding on the street in traffic.the sensor would make bike riders more aware of their surroundings and help with safety on the roads,but it would be acctivated with a switch on the bike so when the bike is parked it will not sound or if the owner of the bike wants he or she can leave the sensor turned on to act as a alarm system for their bike in unsafe areas when parked on a post,etc.i also would like a GPS system be installed into bikes so lost or stolen bikes can be found.i also would like a chain be installed in the bike so you just pull it out from the body of the bike to secure it to a post,tree, or bike rack,which u would have a code to enter on the bike to release the lock, so people don’t have to twist chains on the body of their bike which damages the paint job,so the chain would pull into the body of the bike and pull out when required.
August 19th, 2011 at 9:10 pm
mine would definitely have an engine on it and air bags for when the silly drivers oversee me on my wonderful bike!
August 19th, 2011 at 9:32 pm
Could you please put a little trailer with a couch and sleeper TV airconditioner on the back with a bathroom its bad when us girls has to stop on the road side. That way I could bike forever no hotels just camp out in the trailer .
August 20th, 2011 at 12:41 am
auto lock and security system so my new ride wouldn’t get boosted
August 20th, 2011 at 3:09 am
A Stella Artois beer tap
August 20th, 2011 at 3:25 am
A pink & lavender bike with a basket on the front, a bell, and a huge bow on the front!!!! also a very heavy duty lock so it wouldn’t get stolen like my bike did :’( I can’t bike anywhere!
August 20th, 2011 at 3:26 am
My WHAT FANTASY ACCESSORY would be a built in porta potty, with a bedah on the side
August 20th, 2011 at 3:38 am
Lovely girl next me on bike.
August 20th, 2011 at 4:59 am
I would love to have a rocket booster attached to the back of my bike and a windshield to prevent me from eating bugs (even though that may help my protein intake). LOL!

August 20th, 2011 at 5:15 am
i would like a pink super light bike with lots of gears and a removable basket woop woop it comes in handy
August 20th, 2011 at 5:46 am
My bike would have two minature Arnold Schwarzeneggers inside my wheels running like hamsters for my power.
August 20th, 2011 at 5:57 am
My bike would come equipped with an invisibility shield, rodeo lasso and side car so that I can live out my dream of being a bike riding super ninja. I’d sneak up on the bad guys with my invisibility shield, lasso them and then cart them off to the police station in the side car. It’s the ultimate crime fighting machine. I reckon they’d make films about me and my bike.
Oh but wait…A USB Port…done
August 20th, 2011 at 6:48 am
Of Course my ideal accessory would be the most comfortable and adjustable seat ! It would be covered in the most appropriate material and adjustable to keep certain body parts from being chaffed and circulation cut off. With a seat like this I could travel in luxury all over Europe. It would be like a recliner on wheels, and my rump would love me for it.
August 20th, 2011 at 8:43 am
I would just love to have a bike agin. I have not rode one since I was a kid. I want one that has three wheels with a big basket on the back. A large seat for me to sit on. I would like to have two flashing lights on the back so people could see me and a head light on the front. I would also like made like a double bike so my neice and nephews could ride with me on the bike but also I could take the back bike off when I wanted to ride it by myself. The color of the bike would be purple and pink.
August 20th, 2011 at 10:19 am
my boyfriend and i dont have a car and use our bikes to do everything. even grocery shopping. this gets very difficult trying to fit groceries on a bike. i would love more storage. thanks
August 20th, 2011 at 11:40 am
Automatic Tea Maker – No more flasks or searching for a Tea Shop/Cafe. Fresh steaming tea, just the tonic for when you reach the top of that hill!
August 20th, 2011 at 1:02 pm
I would have a little package in the frame for a raincoat as no sky ever remain clear for more than ten minutes once I’ve gotten up on a bike. There would be a little red note reminding me of wearing a helmet because I always forget it and then feel like death is just around the corner for my whole trip.
August 20th, 2011 at 4:55 pm
My dream bike has the most comfortable, soft seat ever made.
August 20th, 2011 at 5:31 pm
A onboard camera for taking still and video shots while on the move, a somewhat different perspective on life!
August 20th, 2011 at 6:55 pm
I need a fan/airconditioning unit! I am a sweataholoic and could really use a nice breeze!!!
August 20th, 2011 at 7:33 pm
I would have a back scratcher released froim under the seat just in case an itch hits you and we all know that you can’t reach back 7 scratch the middle of your back while riding a bike
August 20th, 2011 at 8:27 pm
I would like a camera mount to put my video recorder on so I can tape just how many cars try to kill me a day, post it for mass viewing on the internet and create awareness that no, us bikees, arnt the bad guys here! Just enjoying some wind and rays!
August 20th, 2011 at 10:43 pm
Remember the good ole’ days when every sweet ride had spinners on their wheels (where did they go)? I would have my bike come with hydraulics and spinners so I could be a low rider and start a bicycle gang.
August 20th, 2011 at 10:51 pm
Love all the ideas, but really I would like some new tires anda strobe light for night riding
August 20th, 2011 at 11:47 pm
Go for a long ride on a summer day and you’ll find that when you get off you’ll have a sweat soaked backside. My husband a has a name for this, (excuse my language) “swamp ass”. So how about a fan that sits at the back of the seat and aims down your ‘crack’.
August 21st, 2011 at 12:20 am
My ideal bike would have a built in GPS that always takes you to the right destination, lol. It would be able to see traffic built up in front and save you time.
August 21st, 2011 at 3:08 am
wings!!!!
August 21st, 2011 at 3:09 am
a motor to get to work easier
August 21st, 2011 at 3:12 am
a trunk
August 21st, 2011 at 4:09 am
I would like to have a system to fry thieves and a litle basket to store the dead ones. This would replace a good bike lock.
August 21st, 2011 at 5:36 am
I would like a Bicycle Computer or GPS for my bike. I get lost a lot.
August 21st, 2011 at 7:55 am
I’d love a bike that looked classy, adorned with the classic bell and basket(big enough to carry my stuff for class in), and of course some ribbons on the back. Also wouldn’t mind if it had a built in electric griddle so I could plug in and whip up some pancakes or even crepes where ever I go.
August 21st, 2011 at 12:00 pm
Instead of the ‘Mile High Club’, perhaps it is time to start the ‘Never left the ground, but was travelling on two wheels club’.
Of course, then the bike would have to have a set of perpendicular handle bars, to make things a little easier on the participants (think, people, think!).
Thanks for the great contest! ~Pauline (dod@rogers.com)
August 21st, 2011 at 4:40 pm
A penis awakener.
Now I do not wish to be gross here but spend 10+ hours on a bike in the scorching heat of India and you will know what I am talking about.
At the end of the day, taking a wee is a task in itself.
Would be great if the seat had a little something to tap Johnny once in a while and prevent him from going off to la la land.
My (sincere) 2 cents.
August 21st, 2011 at 5:59 pm
I would like a Magic Fingers bike seat that massages the rear while you ride (in similar fashion to the Magic Fingers beds in some hotels).
August 21st, 2011 at 6:02 pm
I always wished I could have just a big Giant plow on the front of my bike. I go to school at a pretty big university and there are so many people walking on the side walks that if your on a bike you have to cut into the grass or just ride really slow and dodge all the people (people are also not friendly to bikers at all). It gets really frustrating so if I had a big GIANT plow I would swoop up some poor suckers that get in my way.
August 21st, 2011 at 11:07 pm
Riding the bike makes the bum sore, so I would like to have a Shiatsu type devise in the seat that would make the bum feel better in advance of the pain the bum will feel the next day.
August 22nd, 2011 at 3:30 am
A CAMEL BACK WATER SYSTEM THAT SITS ON MY REAR BIKE RACK. IT WOULD HAVE A LONG TUBE THAT STILL REACHES MY MOUTH. IT WOULD HAVE A JACK & SMALL SPEAKERS FOR MY IPOD. I VISUALIZE A SMALL CASE THAT HOLD THE WATER AS WELL AS THE iPOD DOCKING STATION AND A RED FLASHING LIGHT AT THE REAR.
August 22nd, 2011 at 10:07 am
A solar powered engine and a reflective windscreen so I could see out but no one could see my red, sweaty face or look down my t shirt.
August 22nd, 2011 at 8:56 pm
the feature would be an automatic robotic option that would pedal and ride for you, safely, – taking the best route and monitoring the oncoming traffic so that you could even sleep while the bike does the work.
August 22nd, 2011 at 9:43 pm
My bike would have button that would deploy wings so I could fly. Oh yes, flying bike.
Now we are talking!!!
August 23rd, 2011 at 1:03 am
Definitely a but warmer on the seat, my bum gets cold riding in the fall.
August 23rd, 2011 at 4:01 am
Cruise control would be great!
August 23rd, 2011 at 7:56 am
i have to suggest something that we actually need: a triage bike safety system: both wheels easily removable, which (important!) mesh completely to save space, plus a steel bike lock in the shape of a telescoping helix. a very strong, complex shape, much like your childhood brainteaser puzzles! and it unlocks when you call it with your phone number and submit a secret code! bike theft is rampant in the bay area. :/ peace.
August 24th, 2011 at 7:41 am
My bike would repeatedly say: “Keep pedaling and you will get skinny, stop pedaling and you will stay fat…..
August 25th, 2011 at 9:13 am
I would love to have a apple green bicycle to ride to work here in the Netherlands. Besides a lovely green bike, I would wisely invest a part of the budget in buying some extremely sturdy locks as my beloved carbon neutral two-wheeler recently got stolen….
August 25th, 2011 at 9:18 am
A flux capacitor – if I ever developed the strength of will to get the bike to 88 mph I would be rewarded with a trip to the time of my choice! Great motivation!
August 25th, 2011 at 9:24 am
My fantasy accessory would be a pedal-powered ghetto blaster. That’s right, I’m going retro on your ass! Imagine cycling down the street with music blaring out of your bike. Brilliant! Bystanders can have a bit of a boogie as you cycle on past, and on top of that it will motivate you to keep on pedaling sister. As soon as you stop, so does the music. Although for safety’s sake it’s probably best if there was a giant warning sticker reminding you to stop at crossings!
August 25th, 2011 at 9:34 am
An Andy’s Copenhagen Wheel hehe No, seriously, my dream bike is any bike since I am moving to Berlin and I really need one.
August 25th, 2011 at 9:47 am
Wouldn’t it be super fantastic,
If your bike had arms like inspector gadget..
Go-go-gadget map would be cool,
And a gadget brolly would be a handy tool,
But the go-g-gadget copter is my favourate accessory,
so me and my bike could fly over the sea!
To cylcle round in the sunshine,
and leave this English weather behind…
“GO GO GADGET SUNHAT AND SHADES!!”
August 25th, 2011 at 9:55 am
A massive horn so that when I’m riding along the promenade I can scare all the pedestrians out of the way!
August 25th, 2011 at 11:14 am
I would definately have to have a time travelling, time stopping badboy of a bike! All the power would be in my bling bling bike bell. 3 rings to stop time (if running late commuting to work) and when up to good speed I’d ring 5 times whilst thinking what era I want to travel to and boom! A time portal opens up and I cycle through. I would be kitted out in appropriate attire as part of the magic too…of course.
August 25th, 2011 at 11:25 am
A bike powered shower. Biking is sweaty work; especially if you live in city of many steep hills and arriving at ones destination looking and smelling the worse for ware not good. Also a levitation devise to get up those hills without traffic beeping at you.
August 25th, 2011 at 11:31 am
I don’t need much, but maybe my bike would be programmed to automatically find flea markets, thrift stores and coffee shops. It’ll help me find my fellow hipsters!
August 25th, 2011 at 12:10 pm
my bike would have high beam lights with a fog horn to alert drivers that im around maybe even magnetic laser beams incase they get too close
August 25th, 2011 at 12:46 pm
A device whereby the bike would appear to be a car or even a lorry if other traffic was getting too close to me.
August 25th, 2011 at 1:00 pm
OO I am dreaming for a world of bikes and clean environment in my town…i am also dreaming for a beautiful bike that cant be stolent ( i live in Romania ) so i dream a bike with a really good heat mechanism that i will turn maximum in the night against thiefs, i will make it just warm in the autumn and sping to warm up my sexy ass and in the summer i will make it make ice cubes for cocktails at the picnics and parties alll in the bike body ( pipes and handle bar ). At the back of the bike it will have a place where can take out steam as a abadass motorcycle
. Cheers for the perfet bike!
August 25th, 2011 at 1:12 pm
Due to the fact that my immensely beloved blood-red racing bike got stolen just the other day, I am A) heartbroken and B) very much in need of a new bike to attach a fairly simple but nonetheless important accessory to it, in fact there are two: a blue/white chequered bell with the image of a crown representing my nationality: Bavarian. And secondly, an electronic shock device that is built into the seat and that recognises if the bike is driven by someone not being myself, and shocks him or her off the seat immediately – so my bicycle won’t be stolen again. That’s it. Fingers crossed now.
August 25th, 2011 at 3:26 pm
I love my bike to have illumanise yellow Handle bars and yellow tyres,also a bright blue frame,i would of course wear matching sport wear,yellow gloves,yellow sun glasses,yellow helmet,I like the world to be a brighter place.
August 25th, 2011 at 3:56 pm
well, I wouldn’t mind having KITT (yeah, the one from Kight Rider) installed in my bike! Having Turbo Boost, Ski Mode, a Laser… etc. would be awesome
August 25th, 2011 at 4:11 pm
A pegasus cape and a pair of (clip on) wings. Crashed my old BMX too many times, would be great to actually enjoy a liftoff moment without worrying how nasty the landing is going to be.
August 25th, 2011 at 5:22 pm
Hi
i WOULD HAVE PLAYING CARDS AND PEGS TO REMIND ME OF MY CHILDHOOD WE USED TO PEG THE CARDS ON THE SPOKES AND RIDE DOWN THE HILLS THE SOUND WAS GREAT. oH TO BE A CHILD AGAIN LOL X
August 26th, 2011 at 5:52 am
Since it is a fantasy anyway, I’d like Charlise Theron on my bike!
August 26th, 2011 at 8:01 am
Solar Panels so I don’t have to pedal all the time!!
August 26th, 2011 at 9:21 am
Some sort of mechanism that would iron my clothes as I cycle around the countyside. Pure heaven!!!!
August 27th, 2011 at 5:28 am
It would have a camera. Othre than that all I need is a simple working bike.
August 27th, 2011 at 9:35 pm
An ice-cream maker, powered by my peddling, so I have fresh home made ice cream when I get to my destination.
August 28th, 2011 at 4:46 am
SOME SORT OF FRIDGE TO KEEP MY WATER COLD!
August 28th, 2011 at 5:22 pm
My bike would have orange accessories. It would be orange. Orange would be the colour to honour a great Canadian, Jack Layton. Jack Layton was a great humanitarian who believed in social democracy and the advancement of our world for all. Jack himself biked through the cities he lived in. Jack died last Monday, August 22nd, in the prime of his life fighting cancer; he had just brought the country together in the last election with a majority of Quebec seats as the official opposition. His final words written words were in aa open letter were :
My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.
All my very best,
Jack Layton
August 29th, 2011 at 8:54 pm
Much as I’d love an inflatable Mark Cavendish to take over when I’m feeling too tired/lazy (OK, most of the time) and to chat with while at traffic lights (better than talking to myself!), I really, really want something to deal with my pet hate: potholes. So my super gadget would spot potholes in my path and squirt instant setting smooth concrete into them. When I invent this (next week hopefully) I’ll make enough money from it to be able to hire the real Mark Cavendish as the daily engine for my new tandem
August 30th, 2011 at 1:14 am
My dream accessory is jewelry with integrated front and rear lights. Safe + Fashionable = cycling dream.
August 30th, 2011 at 3:13 am
Mine would be a blue tandem with time traveling capabilities, and would have Doctor Who riding with me.
August 30th, 2011 at 3:17 pm
I want a road sensor that will see the road in front of the bike and make it smooth as glass. Well, not glass; that could be a bit slippery. Smooth as really smooth pavement.
Potholes and broken road? Bam! Repaved!
Broken glass? Removed!
Streetcar tracks? Covered!
Snow and ice? Sublimated!
August 30th, 2011 at 7:45 pm
Here is my dream bike:
fire-resistant bike with solar powered mini fan & super mini fridge for my drinks & meat, also a solar powered charger for smartphone (so I can enjoy music, make a call, use GPS, go online, etc conveniently while cycling), solar powered induction stove, a compartment for a compact set of clothes, another compartment for sleeping bag or tent. A projector to the street so I can watch TV/DVD/etc on the street in front of me while riding the bike.
But, all those are still ‘normal’ additions. I want more!
Apply anti gravitational tech to the wheels, a rotor system so the bike could fly like helicopter & when not being used it can be folded automatically into the bike’s frame, jet engines, a parachute, body air bag, then I’ll be ready to travel by air with my bike!
With a helmet filled with oxygen connected to a face mask I’ll be wearing + automatic retractable paddle wheels, I’ll be able to ride my bike under water.
But the wheels could also turn horizontally, the tires will expand, then the rotor system will move to the back, and the bike will be able to move on water like a hovercraft!!
But there’s more, push a button then strong iron will cover the tires so they’ll form into sharp spikes to climb flat surfaces and mountains!
Push another button & the iron covering the wheels will change into pointy drills which can be moved to any angle to change direction. With the oxygen helmet on, I’ll be ready to drill & ride my bike into the depth of the Earth!
It will become a super bike, able to travel anywhere!!
August 30th, 2011 at 7:49 pm
I’d love to have one of those jet cockpit covers that appears out of nowhere when I press a button on my bike and it “slides” into place, covering me in a cockpit bubble, protecting me from rain (I live in Seattle!) and comes with auto-pilot so I can take pictures for my blog while riding!!!
August 31st, 2011 at 6:54 am
At a fast-first-sight, everything looks normal on my ideal bike… But this isn’t the case, as by a more attentive look a small, weird device well connected to each of the 2 pedals, is easily noticed on the front low side of the bike. It’s a Multiplier of Speed.
The faster you pedal, this tiny thing multiplies the forces applied, gaining, thus, a greater speed.
With such a device, I could reach faster the other side of the world, find that person who is traveling in my thoughts… And when I will have finally found him, I would give my bike to sb else, for they could also make true their own dream.
August 31st, 2011 at 9:10 am
Well i am a bigger woman that sometimes has trouble keeping up with her fast 8year old..so sometimes i get the toots, would be cool for my bike to be able to have a modulator that chnged my farts to turbo boodt whoo hoo bye my love as i shoot by faster than a speeding bulet padt my boy..boy would his eyes pop out lol
August 31st, 2011 at 1:42 pm
My bike retracts the wheels’ treading for a frictionless ride, shoots an umbrella from its stem on rainy days, releases rotary blades when I want to fly, springs itself up and flips back when I want a kick, and directs air into, across and down the frame where it mixes with stored hydrogen to pump into my bottle 16 oz of baby water. Shazam! I need only press a single button for it calculates its output from my intention. A remote activates an additional function: in folds the handlebars and back swings the seat post, effectively dumping robbers. Poof!
August 31st, 2011 at 3:16 pm
Dragon wings and tail so I could soar above the clouds and get across the motorway rather than having to cycle up that long ramp to the bridge!
August 31st, 2011 at 3:17 pm
I want a bike who can be a bike AND a man… not sure how straight i could ride on it but it would be much more fun!
August 31st, 2011 at 3:18 pm
I would have a ET in my bike. So, we could fly in front of the moon just like Elliot did it.
August 31st, 2011 at 3:20 pm
Integral auto pilot so like ET I could ask to “Go Home” & be whisked aloft
August 31st, 2011 at 3:21 pm
It would give an electric shock to remember for anyone who tries to steal it! Yes, I’m tired of bike stealers. Lost 3 bikes this summer already :/
August 31st, 2011 at 3:22 pm
An iPAD2 attached to the back showing a powerpoint type presentation with random inspirational messages, or short sketches, for all those stuck in traffic. It would have to make people smile, inspire them and make them feel less stressed.
August 31st, 2011 at 3:29 pm
a little button that lets u jump over people that get in your way
August 31st, 2011 at 3:30 pm
A storage compartment reminiscent of Mary Poppins’ handbag, where I could store my Uni books, laptop, softball gear etc.
August 31st, 2011 at 3:41 pm
My bike will have a solar panel/ so it could be truly sustainable / it would make me go faster / I’ll be a bike Master!
I wouldn’t use my pedals / because I could ride for free / energy would be offer by the sun/ to ride until the moon.
My bike would release frequencies / to raise people’s vibrations / People would be so happy / And would release all their frustrations.
I would ride around the world / sponsored by Amazon/ Hostelbookers would help me too /Providing accommodation
August 31st, 2011 at 3:43 pm
Definitely a bike cape!
Remember the feel of your superman cape flying out behind you when you were a kid, as you went racing around the yard?
Love that feeling
August 31st, 2011 at 3:49 pm
Gps!
August 31st, 2011 at 3:59 pm
A built in inner compartment under the saddle (a sort of trap door saddle) for er those little emergencies when stuck in the middle of nowhere without a public facility in site!
August 31st, 2011 at 4:22 pm
A GPS device that informs you of the best route to avoid nasty hills!
August 31st, 2011 at 4:26 pm
A time machine so i can visit all the cities i love in their prime time – ancient rome, athens, paris during hausmann, new york in the seventies and manchester in the eighties! i’m daydreaming of a trip around the world in different ages with my new bike!
August 31st, 2011 at 4:31 pm
A big old fashioned toot horn that screams ‘out the way’!
August 31st, 2011 at 4:41 pm
An auto pilot for when i have tried the local beer to much AS USUAL…
August 31st, 2011 at 4:58 pm
A sausage machine! What can be more fun than cycling round awesome cities whilst producing sausages? I cant think of anything…
August 31st, 2011 at 5:05 pm
I would Love a HostelBookers Voucher Printer so I could Spread Holidays Around My Town, I would even give some to People in Cars, SUVs etc as they have to pay so much to keep there Machines on the road, Then they would be converted and look out for us Cycleists when Driving:}
It would Be Great to see so many people smile as “It costs Nothing too Be Nice” well i`ll Leave You Now and Hope You Spread The Love if Not The Vouchers:}Xx
August 31st, 2011 at 5:47 pm
My bike would be a mood bike….changing colour depending on how I feel.
August 31st, 2011 at 6:00 pm
I would love to have a totally decked out dash er… handlebars with a bug shield, ipod holder and a water bottle holder and maybe a sweet basket so I can go to the grocery store and back.
August 31st, 2011 at 7:44 pm
Double padded seat, with a chocolate dispenser. I would able to cycle round the world twice!!!
August 31st, 2011 at 11:47 pm
I’d like some “language translating googles” as I am an American living in Germany. Just got here and read *some* German. I know I’ve already ridden down a road that was for farm equipment only (but looked like a bike trail). I’d like to prevent future mishaps. It’s hard to read and translate while riding!
September 1st, 2011 at 5:16 pm
Congratulations to Stephen Devincenzi for the winning fantasy accessory! We will be in touch via email shortly.
