solar chargers
Cheaper, lighter and easier to just buy batteries as a backup.
Probably more environmentally friendly to use batteries (as a backup) too as you have to use a PV panel an awful lot to offset what went into making it.

Can't weld Ti out on the road so may as well use carbon.
Solid tyres? They haven't been an option the first 80 times people have tried to market them. Tubeless maybe.
You'll be too old by then.. better to have a go now and get sponsored by work.

By that time, solid tyres might be a reasonable option. USB dynamos and solar chargers ought to be much better as well. Might need electronic gears if the arthritis in my hands progresses.
12 or 13 years to work it out ;-)
