The cycling boom

Even in summer, Russia does not have as many cyclists per capita as Amsterdam, although more than New York. And it is completely in vain, because modern bicycles have stepped far ahead compared to what everyone ridden in childhood. We have collected 11 interesting examples of two-wheeled transport, which will soon become a new reference point in the production of urban bikes.

Pelagro 746

This bike, like the entire Pelagro family, is closely related to Ducati motorcycles and is produced under the patronage of this brand. Connoisseurs of motorsport, for example, immediately recognize in the frame of this bicycle the features inherent in lattice sports motorcycles, not to mention the screaming colors.



Shape Field Bike

The design of this bicycle, as if descended from the films of the beginning of the last century, attracts attention by the unusual solutions and the carrying capacity of the front platform. It can withstand a weight of about 50 kilograms with the relative lightness of the bike itself.













Z Bike Skeppshult

Questions about the name of this bike will not arise, if you look closely at the shape of the frame, which really repeats the shape of the letter “Z”. In addition, the brand has more than a century of history and understands something about the production of bicycles.



Cargobike Elian Cycles

Designer Elian Weltman has created one of the most elegant cargo bikes ever seen. The cargo is proposed to be placed on the front frame between the wheel and the steering wheel, and management is carried out using a special steering system.



X-9 Nighthawk Brano Meres

Castom bike Brana Meres, although it looks quite heavy and resembles a stealth aircraft, but in fact very light. This is achieved due to the fact that its frame consists of compressed bamboo layers covered with hydrocarbon laminate.





Thonet Bentwood Concept

Created by one of the leading furniture manufacturers and Andy Martin’s studio, this bicycle consists of a wooden frame and carbon fiber wheels, the production of which used the most advanced technologies. The cost of such a piece bike is about 70,000 dollars.



Heather's Rockcity

Geekhouse Bikes, founded in 2002 in Boston, spares no talent or engraving for its bikes. Possessing an interesting welding technique, they produce interesting and fresh-looking bicycles, weaving classic shapes with modern technologies.







Brooklynes Universal Bike

This bike, created by Manuel Saeza, has a frame reinforced by a second contour of tubes that add stiffness and allow it to experience a variety of ways of riding on the bike, up to the most aggressive.



36 Volt Electrolyte

As the name implies, this bike has an electric motor and belongs to the category of electric bikes. A much less obvious detail is an ultralight frame made of aluminum, titanium and carbon fiber.



Electronic Bike

Also an electric bike, but this time with more classical shapes was designed by German architect Hadi Tehrani. The removable battery is installed on the steering unit, where the base for the driver's iPhone is located.



Bough Bike

Eco-friendly transport in all senses was proposed by the Dutch designer Jan Gunniweg. His Bough Bike, with rare exceptions, is made entirely of wood and now the author is puzzled over how to reduce the cost of mass production of his creation.
