First let me begin by saying this is not a payperpost ad or any other type of ad. I know I post these, but this is just about finding something that I thought was interesting, even though it feels almost like an ad.Trek Bicycle Corportion is introducing a new bike called the Lime. What's so different about this bike? Looking at the picture you'd probably think it looked like a thousand other bikes, maybe the color being different. It's the first bike I know of that has automatic transmission. It has three speeds with a built in computer that changes the speeds as you go faster or slow down. It has pedal brakes, step forward and the bike moves; step backward and the bike stops. This might not seem like much, but with a multi speed bike the brakes don't work that way. They have the handles on the handle bar that you squeeze to stop the bike.
I have no idea on the price of this bike or anything else. I saw it listed and just thought it was unusual enough to mention.

I've read about various companies putting out automatic transmission bikes over the years, but nothing has been successful. Maybe Trek finally came up with a design that actually works well. That would be cool.
