Cycle in style with a Gucci bicycle

Sometimes it makes more sense to leave your car at home and jump on a bicycle to get a destination instead. It’s good for you, cuts pollution and significantly reduces fuel costs.

Most of us stick to the same trusty bike we’ve had for years – although sometimes it may need a good dust before it is road or cycling-path worthy!

However, for those eager to buy an upgraded model for the New Year, and also happen to have a few thousand pounds burning a hole in their pocket, Gucci has created two designer bicycles.

A white hydro-formed steel single-speed version carries a price tag of £3,420, or if you’re feeling slightly more extravagant, you can spend £7,650 on the matte black carbon fiber monocoque model.

The brand’s creative director, Frida Giannini said, "The Bianchi by Gucci bicycles perfectly carry forward our codes of luxury while creating a new cosmopolitan aesthetic for those looking to turn heads while on the go."

Hmm, as luxurious as these bicycles sound, we think we’ll be missing these off our Christmas wish lists – we wouldn’t want our cars to feel inferior to a bike!
