Making metropolitan travel more ergonomic

It would make a difference if they have published the exact synchronization of traffic lights and/or broadcast timely phase signals (via UDP over GPRS or such). Using this data combined with the readings of the bicycle odometer, software on your PDA or mobile phone could continuously suggest a velocity that should minimize idling at each traffic light. Manual settings for maximal speed, acceleration and cardiovascular pulse could be given. Note that this strategy only works well for uncongested networks, like dedicated bicycle lanes or paths. Trained cyclist already apply a similar technique manually, however, not all lights are synchronized to each other.
