Bicycles are one of the oldest forms of mechanical transport we have. So surely there's not much new that can be done with it, right? That's what we thought until we saw the Venge racing bike.

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Equinox fitness clubs has launched an exclusive partnership with the Derringer bike brand to create the Equinox Limited Edition Derringer cycle, Derringer's first peddle bike. Until now, Derringer has created only one type of bike, gas hybrid bikes which have been a hit with celebs; this is the first non-gas style. The bike has a custom color combination for Equinox and a one size fits all 18" frame (they say it fits riders 5' – 6'4"). It has both a single speed and fixed gear option, simply by switching the configuration of the back wheel. It comes partially preassembled and weighs 26 pounds. The bike will be sold at The Shop for $2300.

Every week in October, Equinox will give away one bike to people who have met with an Equinox membership advisor in October. Equinox members are automatically entered to win. The weekly drawing will occur on the following days: October 12, 19, 26 and Sunday, October 31.

The $80,000 BlackTrail Electric Bike

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets, Luxury Cars & Autos, Green

The BlackTrail BT-01 electric bike from PG-Bikes costs as much as a luxury car and can give some motorcycles a run for their money in terms of features and speed yet technically it's still a electric push-pedal bicycle. Made of carbon fiber, NASA grade aluminum, titanium, and magnesium forget pedaling because the bike can go as fast as 62mph for up to 100 miles on a single 2 1/2 hour charge. But it's not all about speed as it also cruises easily at 20-30mph for convenient 'about town' travel and has brake lights, a speed indicator, and a stylish leather casing around the battery pack. The BlackTrail BT-01 is limited to 667 pieces for $80,000 each.

Fred Segal Fun Debuts G-Bike and G-Bike Chopper

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets, Green, Men's Style

The new G-Bike at Fred Segal Fun lives up to the "Fun" brand moniker in a number of unexpected ways.

Firstly, there are the colors; this snazzy scooter-bicycle hybrid is available in the above yellow, a grassy green, dark blue, red, sleek black and white and several other shades, with new hues being developed all the time (or, for a premium, you can design your own). Also, like a hybrid should be, the G-Bike is an eco-friendly, zero-emissions vehicle.

This fully electric scooter-bike can run up to 20 miles per hour for 35 miles per charge (which takes four to eight hours). It's well-suited to students and professionals in urban environments -- people who could walk, but are too awesome to do so. Best of all, you don't need a license to drive it or a registration to have it. Additional features include removable pedals, a remote control alarm, brakes, rear-view mirrors, a horn and ample storage space for books, a work bag, groceries, shopping bags or whatever you have.

The G-Bike is available from the Fred Segal Fun store in Santa Monica (310-394-9814) for $1,100. Check out some of the other colors and the stylish G-Bike Chopper (a more bicycle-like motor-bicycle) in the gallery below.

The BMW M Bike

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

If you've just picked up a new BMW crossover, you're not about to bolt just any old bicycle to the roof now are you? Of course not; you're going to need something more suitable. Fortunately BMW's own M division – usually known for their high-revving, high-performance automobiles – has produced a bike of their own.

Called, simply enough, the BMW M Bike, the matte anthracite frame is available in three sizes and comes fitted with a leather seat, disc brakes, top-of-the-line Shimano SLX shifters and a Manitou Match front suspension fork. The cycle will be available in limited quantities from June onwards from select BMW dealers and online at www.bmw-shop.com/

Factor 001 Bicycle by BERU F1 Systems

by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

$34,000 will buy you a whole lot of things, some pretty nice cars among them. Or you could spend it all on a bicycle. Yes, a bicycle. But not just any bicycle: the Factor 001 from BERU F1 Systems.

The state-of-the-art bike is designed and crafted by Formula One engineers, and doesn't conform to the regulations of any specific bicycle racing association. As such, the engineers at BERU were able to start from a clean slate. The result is a carbon-fiber monocoque frame – just like that of an F1 car – with carbon-ceramic brakes and an electronic monitoring system. Each example takes a team of six engineers a week to complete, and only a few hundred will be built in all, each crafted to the buyer's specifications and measurements, and engraved with his or her name on the handlebars.

The Factor 001 is available from Harrod's, in case the price wasn't an indication of its exclusivity, and is currently on display at the London Museum of Science, in case its technology wasn't.

IceLink Bicycle Chain Bracelets

Filed under: Jewelry, Men's Style

Men who enjoy wearing bracelets have an incredible amount of options out there. Bracelets and other non-watch wrist wear are increasing in popularity and are suitable as something to wear on one's wrist opposite a watch, or even with a watch on the same wrist. Alternatively they can be worn on days you take a break from your watch, but you still want something there to keep your wrist from feeling naked.

Watch and jewelry maker IceLink has a neat line of Bicycle Bracelets for men. While IceLink's timepiece collection is clearly priced in the luxury range, these bicycle chain styled bracelets are much more value priced. The brand offers a range of the bracelets in different styles, widths, and with various levels of decoration. Seen above are just two examples with an all stainless steel metal version and other with alternating black link segments.

With a design directly inspired by bicycle chains, the line of bracelets is intentionally "gear minded." With the communicative power to suggest that its wearer is both active, and has an appreciation of well-made sports equipment such as a bike or motorcycle. Price is in the $175 range (give or take a bit). You can visit their website for a full catalog of the IceLink Bicycle Chain bracelet choices.

Thanks to IceLink for the review item. Editorial is 100% independent.

Retro Leather X Porteur Bike Complete with Flask

by Jared Paul Stern (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets, Sports, Men's Style

The Leather X Porteur bicycle covered in saddle leather is a one-off project from French designer Nicolas Yvars that's handmade using vintage parts. Yvars tells BikeRadar.com the beautiful bespoke conveyance combines his three passions – "leathercraft, street fashion and luxury" – and is modeled on a type of bicycle once used by newspaper sellers in Paris. It took him more than a year to track down the parts which he assembled himself, outsourcing only the frame painting and wheelbuilding. Bespoke touches include a hip flask attachment under the saddle and hand-stitched detailing on the leatherwork. Yvars says he has no plans to produce the bike, which combines great looks with agility and comfort, but is using it to promote his marketing company, Ateliers d'Embellie. However with think that demand for the Leather X Porteur might turn out to be so great he'll consent to assemble others for the right price.

Fairmont Monte Carlo: The Only Way to Watch the Tour de France

by Tom Johansmeyer (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels, Sports

There are two ways to take in the Tour de France. One is to cram yourself into a spot along some godforsaken stretch of road with all the other riffraff. You can hope to get a look at the action ... as long as they person in front of you isn't tall. Or, you can find your way to Monaco's F1 circuit, where the race departs. Instead of schlepping out to the site, you can stay nearby. Without the hassle of getting to and from, you might actually enjoy the experience!

To help you enjoy the kickoff of the 96th Tour, the Fairmont Monte Carlo has put together a great package. Stay from July 1 to July 5, and you can pick up a room for €529 (around $735) a night, with a buffet breakfast included.

So, if you've ever wanted to witness the greatest cycling spectacle of all time, here's your chance to do it the right way. Once the riders depart, drop some cash on the roulette table, and sip a wine carefully crafted in Provence. Do everything that those dedicated athletes can't. The lucky racers won't be back until next year, but you can take a few more days to play with the wealthy.

Fendi Fur-Accented Bike Defies Logic, Taste

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

Your Memorial Day weekend may include a bicycle but likely it's nothing like this. The new Fendi Abici Amante Donna bicycle is designed for luxury cruising. There are two versions, a $5,900 iteration with Fendi's Selleria leather accessories and a detachable Fendi case and the deluxe bicycle for $9,500 that also has removable fur saddlebags. WWD reports that at a celebration event at Fendi's Fifth Avenue flagship four bikes, two of each style were sold. I love a good classic bike but this one just goes too far for me if only for the impracticality of the fur saddlebags. It seems to be a bike you could never leave unattended unless you wanted to take the accountrements with you.

Swarovski-Studded Golden Bicycle

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

Aurumania has a mission to turn ordinary objects into sparkling, golden collectibles, and this Swarovski-studded gold-plated bicycle is a perfect example of that mission. Each Crystal Edition Gold Bike (available in a limited edition of only 10) is hand built and features "every visible surface" plated in 24 carat gold and more than 600 Swarovski crystals accenting the frame. I wouldn't think it's intended for real use on the street (they also sell a gold-plated bike rack for display, if you're interested) but they do offer a 10 year "no questions asked" guarantee so maybe it is. Can't imagine chaining it a bike rack on the curb though. €80,000

$30,000 Customized KGS Bikes

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Green

With the environment to think about, and our wallets also due to ever-growing transportation costs, investing in a well-made custom bicycle is sounding a lot more appealing to many people than it did just a few years ago. Now whether you can justify forking over as much for a bike as you would for a car is another story, but for some having a customized two-wheeled ride is worth it. KGS Bikes has a special fitting process that makes their bikes customized to fit each individual buyer, and meet their unique needs. The prices range from $8,000 - $32,000, with the highest price point buying you a "one-off work of rolling art."

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos

Last year, the Gap offered a brightly striped holiday Vespa. This year they are going even greener, selling blue argyle-printed Electra bicycle. The bike comes two sizes, the adult version for $499 and a kid's version for $299.

The bike is part of Gap's holiday campaign that includes the usual crop of celebrities looking adorable in sweaters and scarves (this year's cast includes Jon Hamm, Jason Bateman, Jennifer Hudson, Rainn Wilson and Mary-Louise Parker). The ads feature ttaglines centered on the theme of "your own." Each individual in the campaign provided a handwritten response to various fill-in-the-blank taglines about the holiday season. Twilight's Cam Gigandet's tag-line reads "Fulfill Your Own New Years Resolutions," Actor Rainn Wilson wrote, "Merry Your Own Naughty Elf," and Actress Milla Jovovich's simply says, "Celebrate Your Own Gift."

The Gap has also created a series of videos with actors, musicians and comedians in holiday attire performing remixed versions of traditional holiday carols. The videos include Selma Blair and Rainn Wilson singing "Baby It's Cold Outside," Jon Heder and Janelle Monáe performing a unique version of "Winter Wonderland," "Jason Biggs, Romany Malco and Freddy Rodriguez sounding bells to "We 3 Kingz," The Dixie Chicks and Sandra Bernhard belting out "Deck the Halls," Flo Rida and Trey Songz remixing "Jingle Bells" and a performance of the entire holiday cast performing a never-before seen remix of "Jingle Bells" led by Flo Rida and Trey Songz which is embedded after the jump.
