A testing woman on the Di-cycle

Di-Cycle is a concept bicycle that could potentially help bikers travel over water and land.  There’s no info on when and how this concept is available so keep your fingers crossed.

This two-wheeled vehicle was specially designed to function as a mode of transport over land as well as water, although it won’t protect you against splashes and rough storms no thanks to a lack of a canopy. No idea on what other features are available with the Di-Cycle concept, but parking this is going to be quite tricky.

I am not sure exactly the purpose of riding on this circle bicycle but I assume it’s a training bicycle used for teaching people to ride.

If you ride in the rain, we don’t recommend the DIY Cardboard bicycle that costs $30 to make but if you do live in a hot country, this cardboard bicycle might save you some dollars and help re-use some of that leftover cardboard.

Phil Bridge, 21, of Stockport, Greater Manchester, believes his “ultimate green machine” will be cheap enough to attract occasional users while also deterring thieves.

The frame, made out of cardboard normally used in industrial packaging, could be produced for as little as £3.

Once the wheels and chain had been added the total price might rise to only £15.

I would never want to become a rich snob but if you do, here’s a great 24 carat gold-plated bike you can get.  Looks like you can win one if you live in the UK.

A UK based insurance company, ETA, is offering a custom-made 24K gold-plated Charge Plug bicycle complete with customized seat, handlebars and chain to mark the Green Transport Week. The Midas ride comes with its own security guard. But, there are certain restrictions in case you want to buy this hell of a pimped ride like you must be eighteen years old, live in the UK, and get a free quote online for cycle insurance in order to enter the contest.

Here’s a fun DIY clock made from bike parts!

The clock is build out of bicycle parts. One of the design principles was to use only used elements. Edison once said that to invent you need good imagination and a pile of junk. The designers took his advice seriously.

The Bike clock was build by Yedidya Vardi and Vladimir Zviagintsev of the Ron Vardi Center for the Development of the Gifted, in Rishon Lezion - Israel

Now you are probably thinking that this is a joke or something, but it’s no joke and unfortunately it’s no car either!

This is the Ferrari CX 60 bicycle, so you no longer have to be a famous sports or rock star to own your own Ferrari but it may be slightly funny cruising up and down the busy streets showing it off though!

Price $3,032.

Wow, check out this neato bike that can power itself using the power of the Sun!

The E-V Sunny Bicycle has light absorbing Solar panels built right into the Wheels, creating continual power from the Sun’s Rays, and maintaining a constant charge to the batteries. The bike is propelled by a 500 watt front hub motor.

At $7500, I’d probably get a real bike like a Suzuki GSX-R600 but this hybrid electric bike is cool since you can charge it within about 2-3 hours and goes upto 46mph. I wouldn’t want to go that fast in a bike like this though…

This blindingly red transporter “combines the lightweight portability of a bicycle with speed and self-propulsion more akin to a motorcycle,” as it includes a 36-volt pack of NiMH batteries that provides “about one horsepower” to the 58-pound device. The unit can be fully charged “from any standard household outlet in 2.5 to 3 hours and can run for 25 to 30 miles,” and according to a report from the LA Times, the 20mph maximum stock speed can be increased to around 46mph “with a little after-market hot rodding.” Granted, the base price on this thing is said to be around $7,500, so it looks like the most of us will have to stick with the trusty Huffy ten-speed for the time being.
