If the rich and the famous had a thing for biking, well, it sure has to be fancy. Now, a bike can’t have motors attached or a couch like seat because, then it’s not a bicycle. So, folks at ilovemybike thought of creating a real dipped in luxury two-wheeler for those who can afford it. Previously, we did hear of the Charge Plug bicycle with a huge $18,750 price tag but from the looks of it the new bike too will be a hit and with a lower price of $4,117.

Again, ilovemybike’s little creation is both compact and green; two things that one always looks in for a bike. The goldplating is 24 carat, and the bike folds pretty easily to fit into a small and discreet suitcase like bag.

The company reps says that the bike has a unique quality of fitting in well in a helicopter as well as a regular bus, just in case you plan to take one despite the big bucks in your pocket. Also, you do have the option to insure the bike and be on the safer side.

If you have a fad for biking but transporting it to your transferable job location or maintaining its safety poses an obstacle before you then here is a solution. The Folding Back Pack Bike comes handy and you can take pride in owning this gadget-form of bike. Weighing 5.5 kg and 60cm in length, it is possible to carry it on your back in a back pack. As a windfall, the feature-packed form of bike can be turned into a hand cart. The bike sports a headlight, back light and turn signals. The prospective customers for the potential concept includes workers and free travelers, but if you count the doubt digit of inflation still moving high in southwards direction and also the global warming concern then Backpack Bicycle seems to be a perfect option for everyone and anyone.

While this being just a concept, eyebrows are raised for the worthy contender to manufacture this concept and I seriously doubt the safety factor involved.
