If any bicycle is better than none, the best bicycle should inspire the world. The bicycle serves as a quintessential module for human mobility. It can be constructed for pure speed or the frame can be made of 24 carat gold to say the least. The amount of money one will spend on gas over a lifetime can equate to the same price of one luxury bicycle. Take the Chanel bicycle for size; costing an exuberant $21,000 with only 60 made in the world, just 20 of them came to the United States exclusively. Trés Chic, non?
A handful of luxury brands have enlivened their love for travel by fashioning the fitness side of life. For a person with panache and a conscious towards environmental awareness, there is now a more refined place for their personal style in the bicycle market. The houses of Fendi, Hermès, Gucci and Chanel to name a few, have hand-worked their magic into the realm of bicycling. No longer shall there be the iconoclasm of riding a Huffy mountain bike down the street in Chanel’s latest fall couture. The time has come to steer our accessories not only around pedestrians, but vehicles as well.
Bicycles in America are as much of a necessity as fitness itself. For the purposes of ecological sustainability, bikes do not omit any toxins into our air. Bikes invigorate the cardiovascular system. They keep away certain imperfections like dimples or cellulite while producing sexy calves and buns of steel. Cycling helps one maintain a great figure, that’s why the Europeans stay so fabulous. They have a very large percentage of cyclists in comparison to our society. There are some European cities whose topographies are completely mapped with biker lanes; like Stockholm, Sweden for instance.
Individuals who cycle with style and somehow make their outfits correlate to their rides are genius. So, being able to cruise on a $6,000 Fendi bike must look and feel like a dream. The luxury bicycle styles are mostly Dutch, made for a relaxed type of maneuverability and the highest gears may range between 8 to 10 speeds. Each bicycle includes complimentary perks from the houses signature style adding to its visual opulence. Maybe, the gripping of Hermès cowhide leather around the handlebars of a two-wheeler might just motivate a whole new pedigree of cyclists.
So, luxuriate in this new wave of elite fitness and help Americans transform our blacktops into biker lanes. Then our country can truly go from flab to fab.
