Dumbest Product of the Month: THE WORLD’S MOST ADVANCED BICYCLE


It’s time to throw away all your old bicycles because I now present to you THE WORLD’S MOST ADVANCED BICYCLE. Found at Inhabitat, this bike was designed by F1 race car tech company BERU and it shows.

Are you ready for this?

It’s inspired in part by car racing tech, and from the description it sounds like I’d probably need my own team of mechanics to ride it. The cost is a bit out there, too, at around $35,000.

This bike has features like a GPS system, heart rate monitor built in, ceramic brakes, a hydraulic braking system, full carbon frame (naturally!), and weighs in at about 15 pounds - bummer on that last part, but it is full of enough high-tech gear to make any geek happy, bike or otherwise.


The best thing is the price. It’s only 20,000 British Pounds, which, hey, because of the economy, is all the way back down to around $27,000. Better start saving.
