Rasmus Gjesing has just designed a gold-zinc painted bicycle for men and hopes to provide options for those men who are tired of riding bicycles meant for the masses. Targeted at the elite Danes, The Killer bicycle comes with aluminium bars and is made of steel. It also has a Brooks leather seat and looks amazingly gorgeous with all the zinc plate and flashy gold appearance.
However, I am not the kind of guy who would like gold on my bicycle as that looks quite tacky and unsophisticated. Instead, I would rather buy something that does not look so garish. Nevertheless, if it is only the price tag which helps you get off, then you can get poorer by $4,300 and get yourself this golden hued bicycle and ride to a weird type of glory.

Ever thought a bike could function as a paraglide? Well, here it is, the Airbike. The Airbike is a concept which works on the pedal powered propulsion and is an ergonomic and ingenious solution to the pedal powered flight. You would just need to p4edal in between and you would rise up in the air like a bird would. It is lightweight and quite safe and you could use this in open spaces and have a lot of fun.
You would just need to keep cycling and the more you pedal the further you would go. It comes in three different models. The first one is a pedal only model that looks pretty exciting for purists. The second is a combination of pedal and petrol/electric power.
