We’ve seen numerous ways of bringing a laptop when traveling on a bike. Most solutions call for the computer to ride in a bag or side pouch, and last December we saw the Samsung Galaxy Tab bike – but now Peugeot is taking it a step further with its DL122 bicycle.
The company, which started producing bikes in 1882, has introduced a lot of bicycle innovation and the concept here is that a laptop can ride within the frame. Actually it makes use of what is traditionally the open front triangle of the bike between the down tube, seat tube and top tube, and by placing a heavier object here – instead of on the side or back – it should help with the center of gravity. It also helps protect the laptop should the rider fall or crash – of course this is because the rider is also providing that protection, but given how some value their laptops, this might be a small price to pay.
