I would like to have a GPS on my bike so I don't have to worry about him being stolen lol.

I’d want a built in battery to power an electric blanket to keep me warm on cold rides.

-golf club carrier
-truck battery rack
-milk crate for carrying dumpster vodka (or other fine adult beverage) scores
-spare composition book for cutting paper freewheel shims, as necessary
-a gauge that goes to at least 600 Watts, so when i crank it to 400, i'll still have more power available in reserve
-clamped on copper tubing for aero bars
one can dream, right?

I want the wheels to be round and true, and have the bike move when I put pressure on the pedals.
