Bikes of Excess

If your going to ride, do it in style! Here are some must have bikes to look good on the go.

The Orange Crush Bike
This bike was inspired by the "I need a bike for every occasion" idea. A road bike, a commuter bike, a grocery bike, and apparently a cool drink on a hot day - Orange Crush bike! Shoot, I'd feel cooler just riding it. I do wonder though, if you gonna build a whole bike dedicated to getting a drink, shouldn't you put on a cup holder? humm.
The Pink Tandem Bike
This would be, I guess, for any girls who want to go on a ride with a friend. Pretty sure this one is gender specific. I cant picture a couple dudes rollin out to the gym on this. I guess if you really need a purpose to ride this bike it would be the "going to the bank bike", because it is from an ad campaign for WaMu.

The Coco Chanel Bike

For the fashion conscious rider we have the Coco Chanel bike, I guess you could use this to get to the mall when they Beamer or Bentley is being detailed. Might still want to have it valet thought, for $12,000, I dont think I'd leave this one locked to the bike rack. There definitely isn't ample room for thousands of dollars worth of clothes, so this would obviously be used only when jewelry shopping. Im sure you could get several hundred karot worth of diamonds in the saddle bags!

For the guy who has everything, the 24 karot Gold Bike

This bike is, well, worth its weight in gold. For a mere $18,000 you can have your very own, one of a kind, gold bicycle, complete with security guard. I really have no idea where you would go on this bike, but I do know you would get there is style! They say you can't drive a Mercedes into the board room, but I guess you could roll you bike in there... but, that might not get the responce intended. Heck, a $3.99 can of gold krylon would achieve the same look, and who really knows what its made of?!?

And incase you were thinking anyone whos owns one of these really does have a problem with excess, I present you with this guy...

...who has stole 2,685 bikes. With over 10 rented garages full of bikes not to metnion a shop and his own home, this would far and away have to be the definitoin of excess. Police still dont know what he was planning to do with all of them all. I had up to 6 bikes at one time and I thought my place looked more like a bike shop than an apartment. I cant imagine what 2,600 bikes would even look like!
